UK Motor Car Driving Practice Exam
UK Car Driving Test
About UK Car Driving Test
On the 1st July 1997, the Multiple Choice Theory Test was introduced and this is your first step in becoming the full UK driving license holder. So, before booking the Practical Driving Test the applicant must pass his/her Theory Test.
Residency requirements
You need to b a normal resident in the United Kingdom to be eligible to take a test or get a full license. While the normal residence here counts for the place where the applicant lives because of his/her personal or occupational (work) ties. Flowever, if the applicant moved to the United Kingdom has recently been permanently resident in another state of the EC/EEA (European Economic Area), then s/he must have been a normal resident in the UK for at least 185 days in the 12 months before applying for a driving test or full driving license.
Applying for your license
The applicant must be at least 17 years old to drive a car. Although as an exception, if the applicant receives Disability Living Allowance at the higher rate, then s/he is allowed to start driving at 16.
*Note: You must have a valid provisional driving licence before you can drive on the road.
The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) issues the driving licenses. The applicant needs to fill in application form D1, which you can request from www.gov.uk or collect from any post office. However, in Northern Ireland, the issuing authority is the Driver and Vehicle Agency (DVA; online at nidirect.gov.uk/motoring) and the form is a DL1. For more information, see nidirect.gov.uk/information-and-services/ motoring/learners-and-new-drivers
As shown in the form, send your form to the appropriate office. As all provisional licenses are now photocard licenses so the candidate must enclose the required passport-type photographs.
When you receive your provisional license, check that all the details are correct before you drive on the road.

For the multiple-choice test, the applicant will be required to answer 50 questions covering topics that include: alertness, road signs, attitude, safety, and much more. Total 57 minutes will be allocated to the applicant to complete the first part of your Theory Test.
Full instructions will be given before the Theory Test begins on how the test works. The applicant must know what to expect and can react accordingly, therefore it’s important to listen carefully.
The applicants also have the option of going through a practice session of the MCQs to get used to the layout of the test. So, if one chooses to do this, his/her real Theory Test will begin at the end of the practice session.
What happens on the Theory Test?
A question and several answers will appear onscreen during the Theory Test, and the applicant has to select the correct answer by touching the screen. While some questions may require more than one answer, thus it’s important to read the questions carefully.
For the questions, the applicant wants to come back to later in the test s/he can navigate between questions and ‘flag’ questions.
Although, the last five questions will be linked to a Theory Test case study.
After, the multiple-choice part before the hazard perception part starts one can choose to have a break of up to three minutes.
