Booking Your Driving Theory Test

In order to make things as easy as possible for you, we will book the test on your behalf and act as your contact with DVLA. It can be tricky to navigate their policies and procedures and we have become something of the expert.

We are entirely confident that you can pass your test on the first attempt, but we do offer a free rebooking service should the worst happen, and you fail, this will ensure that you can get back on track as quickly as possible.

About the Driving Theory Test

In order to hold a UK driving licence you must first demonstrate a theoretical knowledge of the roads and then take a practical test. It is important that you understand how the road works and how other users operate.

Your theory test is designed with two parts, firstly you will be shown a multiple-choice quiz and then a hazard perception simulation where you must quickly and correctly identify and react to hazards shown on the road in front of you

Taking the Test

We strongly recommend that you arrive at the test centre 15 minutes before your test to ensure that you are not disqualified for being late. If DVLA do disqualify someone for being later is very hard to appeal this decision.

On arrival you will be allocated a secure locker for the duration of the test. Please leave everything you bring with you in the locker as you are not allowed to take anything into the test room. This does include your mobile phone, pieces of paper, and other electronic devices. Again, if you are suspected of cheating you will be immediately disqualified, and it will count as a fail.

After the Test

You'll be given the test result as you complete the test. There will be a breakdown that shows whether you have passed or failed and how well you did on different sections of the test. This is useful if you do have to retake.
