Tests In
order to obtain your full driving licence you will have to pass two exams. These
are: Theory test
The theory test is made up of two parts; the multiple choice part and the
hazard perception part. If you pass one part and fail the other you will fail
the whole test, and you will need to take both parts again. The pass mark for
the multiple choice part of the theory test is 43 out of 50.
For the hazard perception part, you will be presented with a series of 14 video
clips which feature every day road scenes. In each clip there will be at least
one developing hazard, but one of the clips will feature two developing hazards. To
achieve a high score you will need to respond to the developing hazard during
the early part of its development by clicking the mouse button. The
maximum you can score on each hazard is five. The pass mark for the hazard
perception part of the theory test is 44 out of 75. We
will supply you with / recommend the latest training aids to help get you though
the test. If you have any questions along the way, we will be here to give you
any assistance you may need. Practical
Test
Before you do any driving, the examiner will give you an eyesight test (if
you fail this, your test will not continue), followed by the show me / tell me
part of the test. This involves answering a couple of vehicle safety check
questions (these will all be covered on your driving lessons). You will then
move off, and will be examined on your general driving and on two reversing
exercises. You may also have to carry out the emergency stop exercise. In order
to pass your test you must not make more than 15 driving faults. However, if you
commit one serious or dangerous fault you will fail the test.
