Currently, there are two tests that need to be passed in order to obtain a full driving licence. First the theory test and then, within two years of passing this, the practical test.
The theory test is made up of two parts:
- Multiple choice test
- Hazard perception test
Both parts must be passed in order to obtain a theory test pass certificate. This enables the candidate to book a practical driving test. Candidates have two years from the date that they passed the first part of their theory test to take their practical test, or they will have to pass both parts of the theory test once again before they can book a practical test.
