Can I reschedule or cancel my theory test?
Yes, you can reschedule or cancel your theory test, but you must provide at least three working days' notice. Failing to do so may result in losing your test fee. You can manage your booking online or contact the DVSA for assistance.
Q: Are these questions the same as in the official UK theory test?
Answer: No, but they are very similar. The questions on this site are reproduced from the DVSA revision material which is almost identical as the actual test.
(You can't find exactly the same questions (as in the real test) anywhere because the real questions are not public)
HAZARD PERCEPTION
Q: How does the hazard perception test work?
Answer: When the video starts to play, you will see an orange "Hazard!" -button over the video. You should click the "Hazrd -button" when you see a developing hazard. After the video, you see your points and the solution. (In the actual test, you just need to click the video to give your answer, there will be no separate button.)
