In
order
to
drive
unaccompanied
on
the
roads
of
Britain
you
must
hold
a
full
driving
license
for
the
vehicle
you
are
driving.
The
Driving
Standards
Agency
("DSA")
is
charged
with
the
responsibility
for
licensing
the
provision
of
the
theory
test
which
is
the
first
part
of
the
process
of
qualifying
for
a
full
driving
license
and
also
for
conducting
practical
driving
tests
in
the
UK
which
is
the
second
and
final
part in the qualifying procedure.
The
Theory
test
is
taken
at
a
local
test
centre
(not
necessarily
the
centre
at
which
you
would
take
your
practical
test)
using
a
touch
screen
computer
to
conduct
the
exam
and
is
in
two
parts.
It
can
be
conducted
in
many
different
languages
and
provision
can
be
made
for
people
with
dyslexia
or
learning
difficulties.
The
first
part
is
a
multiple
choice
test
of
35
questions
out
of
which
you
must
get
30
correct.
The
second
part
is
a
hazed
perception
test
which
presents
14
brief
video
snippets
in
which
you
must
try
to
identify
15
potential
hazards
(one
video
will
have
two
hazards)
and
from
which
you
must
achieve
a
score
of
44
out
of
a
possible
75;
the
sooner
you
recognise
the
hazard
the
higher
will
be
your
point
score.
You
must
pass
your
Theory
test
before
you
can
apply
to
sit
your
Practical
test
but
you
do
not
need
to
pass
your
Theory
test
before
you
start
learning
to
drive
with
an instructor.
The
Practical
test
is
a
basic
test
of
competence
at
handling
the
controls
of
a
motor
car
and
candidates
are
allowed
up
to
15
driver
faults
during
the
test
but
no
serious
or
dangerous
faults.
Professional
instructors
are
completely
familiar
with
the
testing
process
and
should
be
capable
in
providing a structured learning experience following an established lesson syllabus.
