Driving Theory

At Rookie, we believe that the key to safety on the road is an ability to read the road signs around you. Driving can be seen as reading a book, with each metaphorical page representing a different driving road, and the road signs acting as the words on the page. Knowing how to read these road signs, and learning to anticipate potential issues these could throw up, is the key to successfully navigating any route. This is understood by the DA also, who have set the driving theory exam to ensure safety of all road users. You may book your driving theory test for free at the DSA website, here.

Before you may apply to complete your driving practical test you must first pass your driving theory test as set by the DSA (Driving Standards Association). The theory test comprises of two distinct parts: multiple choice questionnaire and hazard perception. You must pass both parts to successfully pass the driving theory test. Should you fail one aspect, you fail the test and must take both parts again at a later date. Below is an explanation of what you can expect.

Multiple Choice

Before the multiple choice exam begins you will be a sections of on screen instructions required by the DSA. You may choose to complete a series of practice questions to prepare your self for what is to come. Alternatively, you may jump straight in to your test exam.

At this stage you will begin to see questions on the screen in front of you with a choice of possible answers underneath. Some questions may require more than one answer so you must ensure you select all relevant, correct answers. You may also flag questions of which you are not sure of the answer, and come back to them later.

Hazard Perception

As with the multiple choice part of the test, you will be offered a similar opportunity to complete a practice section of the hazard perception test. Once you feel ready you may progress onto the test phase of this section.

In this test you will be shown a video of a car driving down a road, with the view showing as yourself in the driving seat. To successfully complete the test you must click the ‘mouse’ every-time you see a potential or developing hazard occurring. You can gain up to 5 points per video.
