Theory Test Topics

It’s important for you to understand the different topics within the driving theory test to give you a better chance of passing. These are the topics on the driving theory test:

  • Accidents
  • Alertness
  • Attitude
  • Documents
  • Hazard Awareness
  • Motorway Rules
  • Other Types of Vehicles
  • Road and Traffic Signs
  • Rules of the Road
  • Safety of Your Vehicles
  • Safety Margins
  • Vehicle Handlings
  • Vehicle Loading
  • Venerable Roads Users

Although the list might seem quite long, the theory test has to satisfy different areas of theory to test your knowledge of the road. You probably won’t be tested on all the topics above, the main ones are:

  • Alertness

Example Question: Objects hanging from your interior mirror may?

  1. Restrict your view
  2. Distract your attention
  3. Improve your driving
  4. Help your concentration

The answer to this is A and C, the alertness section of the test is made to test your concentration and ability to anticipate dangers in the road. Taking driving lessons in Leeds will help you become more alert and questions such as this one should become a lot easier.

  • Hazard Awareness

Example Question: A driver pulls out of the side road in front of you. You have to brake hard. You should

  1. Ignore the error and stay calm
  2. Flash your lights to show your annoyance
  3. Sound your horn to show your annoyance
  4. Overtake as soon as possible

The answer is A, this sections tests how you deal with hazards and your awareness of them on the road. Most of these questions will be accompanied by pictures asking you about an object in them. Your hazard awareness becomes greater with practice on your driving lessons Leeds.

  • Road and Traffic Signs

Example Question: You must obey signs giving orders. These signs are mostly in

  1. Green Rectangles
  2. Red Triangles
  3. Blue Rectangles
  4. Red Circles

D is the answer to this example question. You will get most of your answers to these types of question by knowing your traffic signs. There are some signs that you won’t encounter on your driving lessons Leeds, hence why it's an important area to revise for your theory test.

  • Motorway Rules

Example Question: What is the national speed limit for cars and motorcycles in the centre lane of a three-lane motorway?

  1. 40MPH
  2. 50MPH
  3. 60MPH
  4. 70MPH

The answer is D, you aren’t allowed on a motorway as a learner driver and it can’t be taught on your driving lessons in Leeds. It's important to know your motorway rules for this very reason, it's a dangerous place for an inexperienced driver and many are campaigning to get it placed on to the DSA driving syllabus.

There are a few other main topics such as safety margins, safety and your vehicle and vulnerable road users, but these are topics you can take a look at yourself using a theory test question bank.
