Driving theory test

I've bought the official theory test for car drivers and the highway code written by the DSA. Now the book gives you loads of questions and explained answers. Is this all you have to learn for the theory test?
What happens if a question comes up that isn't in this book?

If it's the "official" theory test then it probably contains ALL the questions that could come up in the exam.

After the theory test you do the hazard perception test, where you watch video clips and have to click when you see a hazard. There is a good CD-ROM called "Driving Test Success: Hazard Perception" to help you with this.

Yup, that's pretty much it. Don't rely too much on the questions book, but if you have time it's a good bit of insurance.

Best of luck

There's nothing wrong with being enthusiastic.

i need to get driving. there are so few buses from where i live that it is unreal. gets so tedious at times. better to be eager than to just be lazy and not bothered. plus as a car lover it is something i am interested in.

If it helps theres one question I kept getting in my theory about what to do if you're first to the scene of an accident and someone has a wounded arm! Pretty random eh? A good tip is to go to a massive car shop like Halfords and sit there reading a few of their theory books.

To the initial poster= make sure you practice those hazard clips thoroughly, and let us know how you get on! I failed my first theory because I didn't practice enough of the harazd element.

Good luck. :biggrin:

Have to agree, the hazard perception CDRom is brilliant, dont think I'd have passed without it.
