Tests.

There are now three separate elements to the driving test - theory test, hazard perception test and the practical (only 2 seperate tests as the theory & hazard perception tests are combined).

The theory test deals with the following:

There are 35 multiple choice questions dealing with the above. You will also be test on your hazard perception skills (14 different video clips requiring the identification of 15 hazards) and you will need to pass this part of the test at the same time as your theory test.In order to help you pass the hazard perception test and theory test, Brian has a variety of CD's and books available for you to borrow.

The practical driving test will last approximately 40 minutes in a variety of road traffic conditions. Before the test begins you will be asked two questions which relate to vehicle safety and maintenance. Failure to answer these questions correctly will result in one fault being recorded. One serious or dangerous driving fault or 16 minor faults (driver errors) will result in failure of the practical driving test.
