The Theory Test is all about making you a safer driver. It consists of two parts, firstly 50 multiple choice questions and secondly Hazard Perception. You have to pass BOTH parts in order to pass your Theory Test. It is advisable though not to take your Theory Test too early in the course of practical lessons as the "experience of meeting real hazards" while you are learning to drive will help you pass the hazard perception part of the Theory Test. If you are in receipt of a grant from Motability towards your driving lessons then you will need to book your test before your 12th driving lesson.
To book your theory test
By post, write to DSA, PO Box 381, M50 3UW - By phone, Tel: 0300 200 1122 - on-line using a debit / credit card at www.direct.gov.uk/theory test Remember that if you have any additional needs you can request extra time to complete the Theory Test (evidence will be needed to support this), a scribe and / or perform the test in a separate room. All this must be requested at the time of booking.
Theory Test Results
At the end of your test you will receive a letter staying whether you have passed or failed your Theory Test. You need to have passed both parts of the Test to pass your Theory Test. If you only failed on one part of the Theory Test you still have to take both parts of the test again next time. If you are in receipt of a grant from Motability and you pass your Theory Test, then you can resume with the next block of your free lessons. If however you fail your Theory Test, then Motability will freeze your grant until such time that you pass your Theory Test. In the meantime you can carry on with your practical driving lessons but you will have to fund them yourself.
