Might be an idea for those of you waiting to book a theory test to check the system tomorrow.

Here's a little more info on the changes to the car theory test due to come in on 14th April 2020.

Currently, part of the test requires candidates to answer multiple choice questions relating to a written case study. Candidates will now instead answer questions relating to a silent video clip.

A short video will show a driving situation (such as driving through a village or on a busy main road) The candidate will then have to answer 3 multiple choice questions relating to the clip. The video can be replayed as many times as the candidate wants.

Check out the picture mock-up of how the test will look.

Not all aspects of the test are changing however, candidates will still be required to correctly answer 43 out of 50 multiple choice questions within 57 minutes to pass and the hazard perception part is not changing in any way. Also, current revision books and software will remain relevant to the content of the test.

The changes are coming in to make the test more visual and less wordy, which will help those with learning or reading disabilities.

The theory test is changing. Candidates will now have to answer questions related to short video clips which they can watch as many times as they like. The hazard perception part will not change.

Under the current system, you have to answer 50 multiple-choice questions within 57 minutes and then ace a hazard perception test to pass the assessment - however the multiple choice element is changing

From Monday 4 June 2018, learner drivers will be able to take lessons on the motorway with their driving instructor.

As part of their lessons, driving instructors will be teaching them not to hog the middle lane.

Let's see how far we can spread this, so every driver who uses the motorway sees this!

-----

You should always drive in the left-hand lane when the road ahead is clear.

If you are overtaking a number of slower-moving vehicles, you should return to the left-hand lane as soon as you are safely past.

Slow-moving or speed-restricted vehicles should always remain in the left-hand lane of the carriageway unless overtaking.
