Theory Test

 Introduction

• Before you can take your module 1 off road test, you must first take and pass the motorcycle Theory test. This became compulsory for everyone in February 2001, regardless of whether you have a full car licence or not. The only exception is for those who might want to move up from a Restricted licence to an Unrestricted licence.

 The test

• The motorcycle theory test is divided in to two halves and is held at a Driving Standards Agency test centre (Please remember we book this for you as part of your course). Part one is the multiple-choice test. Part two is the hazard Perception test. You must pass both tests at the same sitting in order to pass the theory test. You will be told at the end of the test whether you have been successful or not.

 Part 1 – Multiple Choice element

• The multiple-choice element consists of fifty questions based upon the Highway Code. To be successful you must answer forty three or more questions correctly. Selection of an answer is by touch screen computer.

 Part 2 – The Hazard Perception test

• The Hazard perception test consists of fourteen short video clips, each lasting about 1 minute. Each clip features various types of hazard that you might come across in everyday driving. Each time you see a hazard begin to develop that may cause you to take some form of evasive action, such as braking, then you must click on your mouse. The earlier you spot the hazard beginning to develop the more points you will score. You can score a maximum of five marks per clip. You need at least forty-four out of a possible seventy-five in order to pass .

Note: Although there are fourteen clips, there are actually fifteen hazards. Therefore one clip will contain two hazards, but you will not know which one

Why not visit our bookshop for The Official DSA Theory test book or the Theory test disc which can be used on your PC as long as it has a DVD drive. The theory test disc contains both the questions and answers and the Hazard Perception.
