Provisional License
Before you can legally drive a car in the UK you need to obtain a provisional driving license. To do this you need to get complete form D1 (available from the Post Office). Be sure to enclose proof of your identity, two passport-type photos and the application fee of £50. Allow 2 to 4 weeks from time of posting for delivery. See the Directgov website for further information.
Theory and Hazard Perception Test (HPT)
Both tests need to be successfully passed before you can apply for a practical driving test. Once passed, the certificate is only valid for 2 years.
You will be asked 50 questions in 57 minutes and the pass mark is 43 out of 50.
The pass mark for the car and motorcycle hazard perception part of the theory test is 44 out of 75.
To book your Theory and HPT test on-line or for further information about the Theory and the HPT tests visit the DSA website. Your UKdrive trainer will offer you further advice and loan you various books and CD-Roms to ensure you pass these tests as part of your on-going training. Cost of theory test - £31.00
