When you do not need a theory test

You should always pass your theory test before booking a vehicle. You don't need a theory test to drive a tractor, but you do need a theory test to upgrade from an automatic to a manual transmission. You also need a theory test to progress through the different categories of motorbikes. For example, if you want to go from a 125cc bike to a 250cc bike, you'll need a theory test. A lorry or trailer test is needed when you've got a lorry or trailer licence. A bus or trailer test is required when you've got a bus or trailer licence.

A medium lorry licence means you can drive a large truck or van. A minibus licence means you can drive smaller vehicles such as vans, buses and coaches.
