Learner drivers and motorcyclists are required
to pass a theory test and practical test before they can obtain
a full licence. The theory test consists of 2 separate sections
- multiple choice questions and hazard perception both must
be taken at the same sitting. For cars and motorcycles you'll
be asked 35 questions in 40 minutes and the pass mark is 30
out of 35. A new test is now being used from 3rd September
2007, 50 questions takes 57 mins and you must score 43 out

button as soon as you decide to take action, from the clues
in the clip. |

each incident, the higher your score. |
