How the car test compares
If you are taking something other than a car test, the bank you need is different, and so is the paper.
| Feature | Car | Motorcycle |
|---|---|---|
| Question bank | Car specific | Motorcycle specific, different scenarios |
| Topics unique to it | Passengers, loading, documents | Riding gear, filtering, carrying a pillion |
| Hazard perception | Driver point of view clips | Rider point of view clips |
| What comes next | Practical driving test | Module 1 off road, then Module 2 on road |
What you get to practise
Every question in the car bank is sorted into the topics below. You pick a topic, or let us choose: the more you get wrong in one topic, the more of it you see next.
Who's responsible for paying the vehicle tax?
Kto odpowiada za zapłatę podatku od pojazdów?Real questions from the current DVSA licensed bank, shown with the translations included in every category.
Booking it, and what happens on the day
£23, paid to the DVSA when you book. A retake is another £23. We do not book tests and take no part of this.
Your provisional car licence. Arrive 15 minutes early. Nothing else may be taken into the test room.
57 minutes of multiple choice, an optional 3 minute break, then the hazard perception clips. You must pass both in the same sitting.
Your pass certificate lasts 2 years. Then the practical driving test.

Is the car theory test getting harder?
No. The question bank is revised each year but the format, the length and the pass marks have not changed. The pass rate has fallen because preparation has, not because the test has.
How long does my theory pass last?
Two years. If you have not passed the practical driving test by then, you retake the theory.
Can I book the practical before passing the theory?
No. Your theory pass certificate number is required to book the practical test.
Do I need a driving instructor to use this?
No. Many people pass their theory before their first lesson, which is the sensible order, since you cannot book a practical test until your theory is done.
