If you were to retake your theory and practical test, reckon you’d pass with flying colours? Almost half (43%)* of motorists believe they would pass on the first go, whilst over one in ten (12%) state they wouldn’t pass either test the first time.
With tests back up and running, one in five (21%) budding drivers have their theory or practical test booked this year. But because of the backlogs in tests, they’re having to wait an extra 9 weeks for their practical, costing them a further £569.43 in lessons!
So, whether you’re currently preparing for your tests, or you’re a seasoned driver wanting to assess your knowledge, you’ve come to the right place.
With our new quiz, you’ll start off by trying our fun theory test, where you’ll answer 15 multiple choice questions; before moving onto our hazard perception video, where you get to (virtually) take the wheel.
Once you’ve completed the quiz, if you’ve passed your virtual practical test, you’ll get your very own certificate which you can share on social. If not, well... you can always try again!

How did you do?
Look over your shoulder for a final check
ExplanationIf you have to make a U-turn, slow down to ensure that the road is clear in both directions. Make sure that the road is wide enough for you to carry out the manoeuvre safely.
Humps in the road
ExplanationThese humps have been put in place to slow the traffic down. They're usually found in residential areas. Slow down to an appropriate speed.
Only consider overtaking when you're past the junction
ExplanationYou should never overtake as you approach a junction. If a vehicle emerged from the junction while you were overtaking, a dangerous situation could develop very quickly.
Calm down
ExplanationIf you're feeling upset or angry, you'll find it much more difficult to concentrate on your driving. You should wait until you've calmed down before starting a journey.
In the vehicle handbook
ExplanationYou must know how to load your trailer or caravan so that the hitch exerts an appropriate downward force on the tow ball. Information about the maximum permitted nose weight can be found in your vehicle handbook or obtained from your vehicle manufacturer's agent.
You can't park there, unless you're permitted to do so
ExplanationIt's illegal to park in a space reserved for disabled users unless you're permitted to do so. These spaces are provided for people with limited mobility, who may need extra space to get in and out of their vehicle
When you brake promptly and firmly until you've stopped
ExplanationIf you have ABS and need to stop in an emergency, keep your foot firmly on the brake pedal until the vehicle has stopped. When the ABS operates, you may hear a grating sound and feel vibration through the brake pedal. This is normal and you should maintain pressure on the brake pedal until the vehicle stops.
Check both interior and exterior mirrors
ExplanationBefore moving off, you should use both the interior and exterior mirrors to check that the road is clear. Look around to check the blind spots and, if necessary, give a signal to warn other road users of your intentions.
ExplanationRoad signs in the shape of a circle give orders. Those with a red circle are mostly prohibitive. The 'stop' sign is octagonal to give it greater prominence. Signs giving orders must always be obeyed.
Douse the burns with clean, cool water
ExplanationYour priority is to cool the burns with clean, cool water. Its coolness will help take the heat out of the burns and relieve the pain. Keep the wound doused for at least 20 minutes. If blisters appear, don't attempt to burst them, as this could lead to infection.
The rider may be blown across in front of you
ExplanationIf you're driving in high winds, be aware that the conditions might force a motorcyclist or cyclist to swerve or wobble. Take this into consideration if you're following or wish to overtake a two-wheeled vehicle.
Call the emergency services promptly
ExplanationAt a crash scene you can help in practical ways, even if you aren't trained in first aid. Call the emergency services and make sure you don't put yourself or anyone else in danger. The safest way to warn other traffic is by switching on your hazard warning lights.
Keep well to the left of the road
ExplanationYour road position can help other road users to anticipate your actions. Keep to the left as you approach a left turn and don't swing out into the centre of the road in order to make the turn easier. This could endanger oncoming traffic and may cause other road users to misunderstand your intentions.
Stay behind and don't overtake
ExplanationBe cautious and don't attempt to overtake. The driver may be unsure of the location of a junction and may turn suddenly.
Give the cyclist plenty of room
ExplanationIf you're following a cyclist who's signaling to turn right at a roundabout, leave plenty of room. Give them space and time to get into the correct lane.
