The Theory Test is an important pre-requisite to the driving test and is the first step in obtaining your driving licence. You need to know and understand what being a driver involves. This means having an understanding of the law and rules of the road, and being aware of the consequences when things go wrong. Understanding driving theory and applying the knowledge to your everyday driving will help you become a safe driver for life.

At Lanes we like to help you as much as we can with the Theory Test. To prepare you, we have a series of Mock Theory Test papers which are availLanes to all pupils. Ask your instructor about them as soon as you begin your driving tuition. It is best to start studying straight away as there is a lot to learn. Your instructor will answer any questions you have on driving theory during your practical lessons and will keep a close eye on your progress!
