Why do I have to do the Theory
Test?
Sorry, but if you want another category on your licence,
you must do the theory test for that classification - no
way around that one! Remember, the Highway Code is updated
regularly and even the most experienced road user could be
caught out by the changes if they do not posess an
up-to-date edition.
More apologies, but a still-valid car theory doesn't cover
you for 'bikes, it's a separate set of questions with
different priorities. Like the CBT and Test Pass
certificates, it is valid for 2 years, so if you do not
continue in that timescale and it expires, you'll have to
do it again. The fee is currently £31.00
We have books and DVD's available for loan, your local
library may have material also, but do make sure the DSA
logo is on the cover, otherwise it may be a cheaper
imitation which may not have the correct info or answers.
You can also practice 'on-line' at www.dsa.gov.uk and follow the links.
When you feel you are ready, you can then book on-line
but be warned - there is no reduced fee for re-sits!
The theory test is conducted in Barrow, Preston or
Carlisle six days a week.
