Ways to pass driving test

Driving test:

There are two parts of driving theory test i.e. multiple-choice test and the hazard perception test. Both must be passed in the same attempt to get theory test certificate. Once you clear driving theory test then only you will be able to appear for driving practical test.

Multiple-choice test is the first part of driving theory test which consist of 50 questions out of which you need to answer 43 questions right and the time limit is 57 minutes. You can also go for a practice session of the multiple choice questions to get used to the layout of the test. At the end of the practice session the real test will begin. This session is being designed to test your understanding of the theory behind driving.

Hazard perception test is the second part of driving theory test in which you will be shown 14 clips of 1 minute each having 15 hazards in all (1 clip will have 2 hazards respectively). Once you are done with hazard perception test you'll be invited to answer few customer survey questions. This session is designed to test your alertness of potential hazards whilst driving.

Unlike multiple choice questions, for the hazard perception test there are no separate versions for different vehicles e.g. car, bike, heavy vehicle etc, each vehicle category takes the same test, however the pass mark is different for different categories of tests.

If you pass one part and fail the other you will fail the whole driving theory test, and need to attempt for the test again. Pass driving test with driving test CD, driving test DVD and driving test software.

4. Why hazard perception clips so important in driving theory test

Hazard perception test has been introduced in the driving theory test since new drivers are irrationally involved in accidents, mostly in the first months after passing a driving test. It has been demonstrated that drivers who have taken hazard perception test training have much better hazard test skills.

Hazard perception test free clips plays a very vital role as it reduces number of deaths on the roads. While driving there are some hazards driver has to look such as huge vehicles moving over to your side of the road, loose pets and farmyard animals, changes in the traffic movement and volume, junctions and roundabouts, horse riders, weather conditions of the day, road surfaces, parked vehicles, hidden junctions and turns.

A driver has to face all this obstacles and make his own way. It is a process where examinee will be shown 14 clips in which there will be 15 hazards.

Drink driving facts and penalties

After you pass your DSA practical test, you get a license to drive on the road. Even if you have passed your test, you should always be careful, alert driver on the road. This is for your own safety as well as for other road users safety.

You should always follow road rules and regulations.

Drink driving is one of the serious driving offence. If you drink and drive, not only are you jeopardising yourself, you are putting other road users at risk.

There are 250 people died due to drink driving and 14% of road accidents were caused by drink driving in 2010. By drinking and driving on the road, you risk your life and those of your passengers and others life. Alcohol can affect your ability to drive, weight, age and body metabolism and increase your stress levels. If you are driving after drinking, the alertness and carefulness will be less and you have trouble to judge your speed and be slower to react to hazards.

If you are planning to drive then alcohol must be avoided. This can help to reduce the no. of persons who killed or injured every year in road accidents due to drink driving. So drive safely and safe your and others life.

The drink driving law is complicated and given the severity of any potential punishment, expert assistance from a qualified solicitor should always be obtained. Many road users are confused by drink drive limits and alcohol levels.

The drink drive limit:

35 microgram's of alcohol per 100 milliliters of breath
107 microgram's of alcohol per 100 milliliters of urine
what 80 milligram's of alcohol in 100 milliliters of blood

If you fail a roadside breath test, the police believe that you aren't fit to drive because of drinking and you'll be arrested and taken to a police station.

You may be offered a place on rehabilitation courses. The course teaches you more about the effects of alcohol on driving. The period for which you're banned from driving will be reduced by up to a quarter, if you have successfully completed the course.

Here is what you can expect when caught for drinking and driving:
  • minimum 12-month driving ban
  • fine of up to £5,000
  • a criminal record.
  • loosing a job
  • possibility of receiving a community order
  • drastic change in lifestyle
  • when you get your license back, the motor insurance premiums will be higher
So drink and drive, is really not worth the risk.
Always follow the road rules and regulations.
Never drive under the influence of alcohol.

All important aspects of driving like drink driving, speed limits etc are covered in official driving Theory test questions by DSA. Most learner drivers prepare the questions just for passing the test and tend to forget once they pass their test.
But remember the knowledge gained while preparing for theory test should be applied while using the road every time.

New changes in DSA driving theory test

We wish you all a safe and happy new year!
 
 Learning to drive car/motorbike?

Are you planning to give your DSA motorbike theory test / car theory test anytime soon?

You should be aware of the new changes in DSA theory test.

From 23 January 2012 the theory test will be made up of multiple-choice questions which are no longer published in learning materials.

The reason behind the move is to stop candidates from simply memorizing theory test questions and answers and learning by rote.

If you are taking your theory test before 23rd Jan 2012, you will be asked the exact same questions as they are published here. But if you are taking theory test after 1st January 2012, you need to know about the changes in the UK theory test.

The questions in the exam will not be exactly same as they are published.
The DSA will not distribute the real/exam questions.
Real/live exam questions will not appear in any product - book, CD, driving test dvd , mobile applications or on any website.

So your test would contain questions which are unpublished.

The official DSA explanations for every revision question will help candidates fully understand the answer. This approach to learning will help candidates to gain a better knowledge and understanding of driving theory which will help them respond correctly to the new, reworded live questions used in the actual test.

No changes are being made to the format of the theory test. It will still be made up of a multiple-choice part and a hazard perception part. The time allowed and the pass marks will stay the same.

You can download car/bike DSA theory test application containing all latest 2012 questions with answers. You can also solve interactive hazard perception clips.

We would like to assure you that the tests will not be any difficult.

But once you pass the test, your understanding of the theory would be better which will help you while driving on the road.

We wish you good luck in your DSA theory test.
