Stopping distance calculator
Pick a speed and road condition to see your thinking distance, braking distance and total stopping distance — with a visual showing how many car lengths that is.
Thinking
9m
Braking
14m
Total

Hazard Perception
20 min · 14 clips
Watch 14 video clips of everyday driving scenes. Click when you spot a developing hazard. You need 44 out of 75 to pass.
Click as soon as you spot a hazard developing — earlier clicks score higher
Don't click rhythmically or repeatedly — the system flags this as cheating
One clip will have two developing hazards — stay alert throughout
The Highway Code
Essential reading
The official DVSA Highway Code is the foundation of every theory test question. Study it thoroughly — signs, rules, and road markings all come from here.
Pay special attention to road signs — they feature heavily in the test
Learn stopping distances for different speeds and conditions
Understand the rules for motorways, roundabouts, and pedestrian crossings
Know Your Signs
Self-study
Traffic signs are a major part of the theory test. Learn the shape, colour, and meaning of every UK road sign — circles give orders, triangles warn, rectangles inform.
Red circles = prohibition (don't do it)
Blue circles = mandatory (you must do it)
Triangular signs with red borders = warnings
