Car theory test: free practice and guides

Take a free car mock test without signing up, read why each answer is right, then use the guides to fix weak topics before you book the real test.

Try a real question
Question 1 of 3What should you be aware of if you've just passed this sign?Illustration for the sample question

Correct!

Not quite. The right answer is marked in green.

In a one-way system, traffic may pass you on either side. Always be aware of all traffic signs and understand their meaning. Look well ahead and react to them in good time.

Question 2 of 3What information would be shown in a triangular road sign?Illustration for the sample question

Correct!

Not quite. The right answer is marked in green.

Warning signs are there to make you aware of potential hazards on the road ahead. Take note of the signs so you're prepared and can take whatever action is necessary.

Question 3 of 3What does a sign with a brown background show?Illustration for the sample question

Correct!

Not quite. The right answer is marked in green.

Signs with a brown background give directions to places of interest. They're often seen on a motorway, directing you along the easiest route to the attraction.

Prepare for both parts of the car theory test

The multiple-choice and hazard-perception parts test different skills, and both must reach the pass mark in the same attempt.

1

Multiple-choice knowledge

Revise the Highway Code, traffic signs and safe-driving principles, then practise applying them to a short video case study and unfamiliar road situations.

2

Developing hazards

Look for a road user or condition that is starting to require action. Respond when the hazard develops, without clicking continuously or waiting until emergency action is unavoidable.

3

Use every result

Separate knowledge errors from rushed reading and hazard-timing errors. That distinction tells you whether the next session should be study, questions or clip practice.
