Note the questions/sections where you are failing e.g many learner feel stopping distances questions/answers are difficult to remember. Effective study is more important, many people fail through lack of preparation. Most important is understand the theory behind each question.

In general, 80% questions fall in easy category. Rest 20% you will have to re-attempt till you feel confident. Then take few random mock theory test so you know how you are scoring. Then when you are ready, sit for your free online theory test .

Some tips for learner drivers -

Drive to suit the conditions of the road In some road conditions, even driving at the speed limit could be too fast. Factors that affect road conditions include fog, rain and traffic flow. The national speed limit is not a target speed. Focus on your driving and don't worry about shifting controls.

Driving too close to the car in front, undertaking and failing to signal are widely accepted as examples of bad driving. However, some drivers fail to accept that driving too fast is also poor driving despite the fact that this is a contributory factor in hundreds of deaths and thousands of injuries every year.

Consider the consequences of causing an accident due to driving at excessive speed
If you cause an accident you will have to live with the emotional consequences of deaths or injuries caused to others.

Don't assume it's safe to break the speed limit on rural roads because there is less traffic or an open road ahead
Be aware that there may be unexpected hazards, such as blind bends, vehicles coming out of junctions and animals on the road.

We wish you all the best for your DSA test.

DSA theory and practical driving test advice

noreply@blogger.com (amin) — Wed, 11 Jan 2012 06:04:00 +0000

A driving license is a like a passport into the world of driving. Any driver, who doesn't have driving license, can not drive in public places. So many drivers look forward to getting a license as soon as they possibly can so that they can go any place they want.

Every learner driver's ambition is to take the driving test as early as possible and pass driving test in first attempt. Learning to drive is overall expensive considering the cost of Driving lesson and DSA driving test fees. Hence everyone wants to achieve the goal as quickly as they can.

People truly feel nervous when they think about a driving test so they can take Driving test advice before their driving test practice.

If you want to successfully pass your test the 1st attempt, then we would like to advice you on following points.

Make sure you have read and understood The Highway Code - traffic signs, rules for road users. Once you have got the knowledge and what are the rules of the road then you are ready to take your driving test. This would help you in both the tests - driving theory test as well as DSA driving practical test.
Prepare with the latest DSA Theory test questions. From Jan 2012, DSA has changed the test pattern slightly. From Jan onwards the questions shown in exam would be different than the source material test questions. The exam questions would be based on the officially released source material. So while preparing for your theory test, make sure you have practiced all Driving test questions published by DSA.
Take your practical driving test lessons from qualified approved driving instructor. Professional instructor would have knowledge to guide you properly.
When you plan your practice routes with your instructor to ensure you get to experience all of the necessary traffic patterns, traffic signs and maneuvers.
Your ADI would have a copy of 'driver's record' which is distributed by DSA - The record is based on the official learning to drive syllabus and lists all the skills you need to drive safely. It will help you to - See how you are progressing and identify the skills that need more attention. - Keep track of your progress and encourage you to become skilled in all the key areas. - Prepare for your practical test and become a safer driver.

Make use of it and know your weak areas.

Learn from your mistakes and try not to repeat those.
Imagine yourself driving and visualize what you will do in different conditions, before going on a practice drive with your instructor.
Always eager to learn new things or ideas from your friends and experienced drivers and share your queries with them.
When you are ready to appear for your DSA tests, think positively and do an attempt to think about how you have prepared yourself well for the test.This way your mind stays positive and you are most likely to perform better.

On the day of test -

Arrive early at driving examination centre.
This will give the time in which to prepare yourself mentally and start your test on time.
During your practical test drive with examiner, which is mentally most exhaustive for most, rule of thumb is staying calm. If you get nervous you are likely to make mistakes after mistakes.

We wish you all the very best for your exam.

After passing your driving test, always be safe responsible driver and be considerate to other road users.

The following tips will help keep you and other road users safe:

Choose the right gear:

To protect yourself, wear the right clothes - protective jackets, trousers, gloves and boots and most importantly, a safety helmet that fits.

Expect the unexpected:

Drivers often fail to notice motorcyclists. So it's best to always ride with the expectation that you would not be seen, and to be alert and observant and keep an eye out for other vulnerable road users, such as pedestrians and cyclists.

Make yourself visible Wear a light or brightly colored helmet and fluorescent clothing or strips when riding in daylight and reflective clothing or strips when riding in the dark.

Get your positioning right:

Position yourself in the most visible place, usually the middle of the lane. Take up your road position in good time before turning right or left, showing others what you aim to do. Remember that dipped headlights can also help increase your visibility.

Take care when overtaking:

Can you see hazards? Is there a bend or junction? Can you overtake without speeding up or swerving too much? Before you overtake, take a lifesaver glance over your shoulder and check what others around you are doing.

Do not buy second-hand kit:

You do not know where it's from or what's been done to it; chances are it won't protect you properly if you have a crash.

Protecting your head:

You can now easily assess how much protection a motorcycle helmet can offer in an impact. The Safety Helmet Assessment and Rating Program (SHARP) rates helmets from 1 to 5 stars. The more SHARP stars a helmet has, the better protection it can give. Check the SHARP website for a list of all helmets rated.

Dress for the weather:

Be prepared for the weather to change. Take waterproofs and visor wipes for that sudden downpour - an uncomfortable ride can distract you from hazards.

Keep your bike clean:

Regular cleaning and maintenance keeps your bike running well, and also means you're up close to it more often, so you'll spot potential problems early on.

Take care in groups:

Take extra care when riding as a group - crashes often occur when riders try and keep up with a lead rider. If you're ahead, try and keep the rider behind in your mirrors so you don't have to keep stopping to re-group.

The aim behind DSA Motorbike test is to reduce this number of victims.

How to drive in different weather conditions

noreply@blogger.com (amin) — Wed, 28 Dec 2011 06:24:00 +0000

Driving in the rain:

When the road's wet, it can take up to twice as long to stop so it makes sense to slow down when it's raining.
If your vehicle loses its grip, or "aquaplanes", on surface water take your foot off the accelerator to slow down. Don't brake or steer suddenly because you have no control of the steering or brakes.

If your vehicle starts to skid:

Depress the clutch. Do not brake!
Turn the steering wheel into the direction of the skid.
When the vehicle straightens, steer along the road.

Driving in fog:

Use dipped headlights so other drivers can see you.
If it's really foggy (less than 100m visibility) and you can't see much, then switch your fog lights on. Switch them off once conditions have improved so they don't dazzle drivers behind you.
Fog is often patchy so try not to speed up as visibility improves. You could suddenly find yourself back in thick fog further up the road.

Driving through ice and snow:

Check for snow on the roof of the vehicle before you drive off. It can slip down over the windscreen and obscure your view.
If your tyres are making virtually no noise this could be a sign you're driving on ice.
If your vehicle skids depress the clutch and turn the steering wheel into the direction of the skid. When the vehicle straightens steer along the road. Don't brake - it will just lock up your wheels and you'll skid further.

Driving in windy weather:

In very windy weather we advise you to take extra care on the roads and plan your journeys by checking the latest weather conditions.
High-sided vehicles are particularly affected by windy weather but strong gusts can blow a vehicle, cyclist, motorcyclist, or horse rider off course. This can happen on open stretches of road exposed to strong crosswinds, or when passing bridges and high-sided vehicles.

Floods:

If you can avoid it, it's best not to drive through lying surface water as you might flood your engine. The deepest water is usually nearest the kerb.
If you do have to drive through flooded roads, use first gear. Move forward immediately to avoid stalling the engine. Keep your revs high and depress your clutch when you need to.
Test your brakes after passing through the water. If they work then you can drive on at your usual speed providing it's safe to do so.

How to drive in snow/winter?

noreply@blogger.com (amin) — Fri, 23 Dec 2011 11:50:00 +0000

Highways Agency has given few tips on how to safely drive in winter weather and pass lgv theory test .

The most widespread snow in recent years has decimated the road, rail and air network. Obviously, the advice to avoid travelling applies, but for those who do venture on to the roads there are a number of driving and survival tips to bear in mind

Skidding is the greatest danger. Drive carefully, with smooth, gentle application of accelerator, steering and, particularly, brakes. If the vehicle starts to skid, gently lift off the accelerator and steer in the direction of the skid.

Stopping distances in winter:

When roads are slippery it will take longer to stop. Up to 10 times longer. So, drop your speed, and give yourself more time to slow down and stop.
Drive with care even if roads have been treated.

In freezing conditions, look out for vehicles spreading salt, and snow ploughs.

Make sure you watch out for salt spreaders in winter. They'll indicate they are spreading salt by flashing amber beacons and will drive at less than 40mph. Don't overtake these vehicles unless it is safe.

It's generally best to stay well back because salt is thrown across the width of the road.

The same goes for snow ploughs. Flashing amber beacons mean they are likely to be clearing snow. Don't overtake them unless the lane you intend to use has been cleared. If you're following any of these vehicles it's better to keep well back because snow or salt is thrown across the width of the road.

Breaking down on the motorway:

Pull onto the hard shoulder, park as far over to the left as you can, away from traffic, and turn on your hazard warning lights.
Get yourself and any passengers out of the vehicle immediately, using the doors on the left hand side furthest from the traffic. While you wait for help, keep well away from the carriageway and hard shoulder and do not try even the simplest of repairs.
Try to use the emergency roadside telephones rather than a mobile phone. This will help traffic officers and emergency services know exactly where you are.

Tips for Driving Test and Driving Test Preparation

noreply@blogger.com (amin) — Mon, 19 Dec 2011 11:39:00 +0000

If you are a learner, being taught by a Professional driving instructor is quite important. Today many family members or friends help the learner driver and they have this view that "I can do what a professional instructor can. But the fact is that many professional drivers have bad driving habits.

For example: a large number of drivers do not use the interior mirror. Also they do not driver hands positioned on the steering wheel correctly.

An expert driving instructor should know the safe driving rules, and should be able to teach you the way to driver safely.
Also some learners become nervous while driving, so these experts should know how to handle these types of learners.

Always give priority to those who are recommended to you. Referred driving instructor is the best way to search for a professional instructor. Always discuss with friends before you choose your driving instructor. During these lessons, the learner driver needs to remember what they have been taught by their driving instructor and should put the methods into practice. Compressing as many lessons as possible in a short period of time may not be fruitful for all learners. If time and money allow, the learner should try to book in at least one lesson per week with a driving instructor and preferably two, for 1-2 hours per session. When the driving instructor feels that the learner is ready for the full practical driving test, it is always good to perform a mock test. This entails the driving instructor to act as an examiner and for the learner to take instructions as in a real test and execute a number of procedures that will be given, such as turning the car on the road. This will give the learner a good example of what to expect of the actual test, so that they can be prepared in advance.

Tips before you appear for driving test:

Follow these simple tips and pass your driving test exam confidently:
1. Make sure you have read your study material thoroughly.
2. Effective study is more important, many people fail through lack of preparation.
3. We would recommend you do not spend more than 15-20 minutes with each study period; else your brain may start to switch off.
4. As driving theory test contain lots of information for study, its not recommended to leave it at last minute. Prepare in advance.
5. Find the most comfortable time of the day, when you can grab as much information as you can.
6. Its recommended not to give any mock test quizzes unless you are thorough with your theory test.
7. Goal to get 49/50 correct answers in mock test quiz. Chances of passing in actual test will increase as your mock test quiz marks increases.
8. Before you enter into the test center, be calm.

DSA Theory Test:

1. Arrive 15 minutes before at the center before the test time.
2. Take both parts of driving licence and the test appointment letter.
3. When you will arrive, you will be asked to 'sign-in'
4. If you have any difficulty, ask for help.
5. You will be guided to which computer to use.
6. You will have up to 15 minutes to get used to the system before starting the test.

How can you pass your driving theory test first time?

noreply@blogger.com (amin) — Thu, 15 Dec 2011 05:36:00 +0000

Passing a driving test on the first time is not an easy mission. You are put under a big pressure to pass, and a failure can get you down for the next time. Also, only about 50% of driving students pass their test on the first time. It seems like parallel parking is the thing that keeps many driving students away from the license. However, there is a way.

Many learner drivers have difficulty overcoming the first obstacle of the driving test called "The Car Theory Test". Many people fail taking it whereas most gifted learner drivers are already familiar and reasonably knowledgeable about the skills and rules needed to be complied when driving that will enable them to become safe drivers. Here are a few steps or guidelines that will enable learner drivers to be confident enough in passing the online theory test first time.

The first, Quick Test, allows you to customize your test by selecting the number of questions you are asked, change the timing options and choose whether or not to include previously correctly answered questions, though it will always ask a mixture of questions from across the 14 categories. Once you've answered all the questions you go back to the start to check each answer and, when you are happy with your answers, you tap the finish button. At the end it gives you your mark and percentage, then an explanation of the correct answers, with the option to retry or go back to the Main menu.

The second mode, DSA, again allows you to customize your test, but this time you choose which one of the 14 categories you would like to answer questions from, so if you feel you need to work on a particular category you can. The easiest way to tell which area you need work on is by looking at the graph on the main menu. The graph will display the last marks you achieved in the Mock theory test; if your result appears under the pass line then those are the areas that need most work.

Custom Test is much of the same as far as customizing is concerned, but this time you select fifty questions from which categories you want by tapping the plus or minus button on each section until you have fifty. Mock Theory is the main test: you are asked fifty questions and have just under an hour minutes to complete the test. There's no customizing this time around, although you can still choose not to be asked previously correctly answered questions.

All the questions that you could be asked in your theory test are covered, with explanations for the answers too. An easy to use layout and variety of game modes, although limited, are all present. The left or right handed option is a nice, if necessary, touch. Had the game contained a two-player mode or some mini-games it would have scored more highly, but you can't fault what is actually present in the game. The lack of music gets a bit boring, but then there is no music on the real-life test day to entertain you either. The main problem is once you've passed your test, there is little to go back for.

Eco-safe driving and riding as part of the driving test

noreply@blogger.com (amin) — Tue, 13 Dec 2011 06:35:00 +0000

From 10 September 2008, if you're sitting a driving test, you'll also be assessed on your ability to drive or ride in a way that shows eco-safe driving techniques.

This assessment is not part of the existing assessment criteria for the practical test and you will not fail your test because you don't demonstrate eco-safe driving techniques.

The driving examiner will assess control and planning, and at the end of the test will give you feedback, as guidance, on how efficiently you're driving.

Control

Always try to use the vehicle controls as smoothly as possible, with particular attention to:

starting and moving away
accelerating
using gears
driving at an appropriate speed

This reduces wear and tear on your vehicle and will help in reducing CO2.

Planning

Reduce harmful emissions by anticipating road traffic conditions and acting in good time, rather than reacting to them at the last moment, especially:

Showing hazard awareness and planning
Making use of engine braking
Stopping the engine when appropriate
Tips for 'eco-safe' driving and riding

Follow these tips as a guide to safe driving or riding for economy:

Check your tyres regularly and keep at recommended pressure
Don't carry unnecessary weight
Remove roof-rack or luggage boxes when not needed to reduce air resistance
Don't exceed speed limits, accelerate gently
Consider using cruise control where it would be appropriate
Turn off your engine if you're likely to have a prolonged wait
Use air conditioning only when you need to
Plan your route to avoid known congestion points
Try to travel during off-peak times

How to pass driving test with confidence

noreply@blogger.com (amin) — Mon, 12 Dec 2011 05:25:00 +0000

When you are on driving vehicles, it becomes your responsibility to avoid some common accidents/hazards. Be aware all time and use your commonsense as soon as possible.

Every person is different and each individual takes different times to accomplish things, so don't be put off if one of your friend's or colleague's pass way before you've even if you haven't started to think about your tests. It's not a race.
Learning to drive can be very daunting, particularly as learners have to navigate their way around both a practical exam and a not-too-easy theory test too.

The theory test serves up official DSA theory questions - it contains more than 900 of them - letting users study by different topics such as motorway rules, safety, hazard awareness and so on.

The questions generated appear randomly so you can't just memorize the order like a friend helping you learn but without having to ask them for a favour really. Users can also select just how many questions they want each time, meaning it's an ideal app to help squeeze in a bit of prep whether you have two minutes spare or half an hour.

There's also a handy Mock theory test mode so you can see just how well - or how badly - you'd do if you were in the exam hot seat for real. Rather than just giving a score at the end of the exam, the app will show you the right answers and an explanation of why that's the case. It's certainly an eye opener.

You can also chart your progress through these online theory test to see how much better you're getting as you're brain absorbs the information.

The first, Quick Test, allows you to customize your DSA driving test by selecting the number of questions you are asked, change the timing options and choose whether or not to include previously correctly answered questions, though it will always ask a mixture of questions from across the 14 categories.

Hazard perception test as a part of driving test

noreply@blogger.com (amin) — Fri, 02 Dec 2011 08:22:00 +0000

Hazard perception test is an interactive practice session in the Driving theory test featuring hazard perception clips to identify the developing potential hazards.

Why the hazard perception test element was introduced?

The government is committed to reducing the numbers killed and seriously injured on Britain's roads by 40 per cent by 2010. The hazard perception element was introduced into the driving test in November 2002 as one of the measures that should help achieve this target by encouraging appropriate training in scanning the road, recognizing at the first opportunity from the clues that a potentially dangerous situation might arise and adopting a driving plan to reduce the risk.

During the development of this test, the Driving Standards Agency (DSA) worked closely with colleagues from the Transport Research Laboratory (TRL) and the road safety division of the Department for Transport, both of whom thought this test suitable for testing the hazard.

When to respond to score in hazard perception test

As an example, of how to identify and respond to a developing hazard, consider a parked vehicle on the side of the road. When you first see it, it is not doing anything; it is just a parked vehicle. If you were to respond to the vehicle at this point, you would not score any marks, but you would not lose any marks. However, when you get closer to the vehicle, you notice that the car's right hand indicator starts to flash.

The indicator would lead you to believe that the driver of the vehicle has an intention of moving away, therefore the hazard is now developing and a response at this point would score marks. The indicator coming on is a sign that the parked vehicle has changed its status from a potential hazard into a developing hazard.

When you get closer to the vehicle, you will probably see the vehicle start to move away from the side of the road; another response should be made at this point. Different clips in the test will have various signs to indicate that the hazard is changing its status and is now starting to develop.

The scoring mechanism in hazard perception test

Each scoring window is divided into five equal segments and a score of five through to one allocated to each. Those responding in the first segment of the scoring window will score 5 and those in last segment a score of 1. Responses outside the window will score zero.

Learner bike drivers - Defensive riding tips for motorcycle drivers

noreply@blogger.com (amin) — Tue, 29 Nov 2011 07:48:00 +0000

BikeSafe is an initiative run by Police Forces around the United Kingdom who work with the whole of the biking world to help to lower the number of motorcycle rider casualties. Bikesafe publishes information for bike drivers.

Following are some driving test tips for motorcycle drivers.

You may find these tips helpful if you are learning to drive or preparing for your motorcycle practical test.

Junctions -

The most common accident type was another vehicle crossing the motorcyclist's path to enter or leave a side road or private drive. At roundabouts, the most common accident type was another vehicle entering the roundabout in the path of a motorcyclist already on the roundabout. Over 1 in 5 of all motorcycle accidents was of this type, where the motorcyclist had right of way.

Tips:

Plan ahead on approaching junctions
Be aware of vehicles waiting to enter the main road, or approaching it along a side road, and be prepared to stop and take evasive action.
In urban areas look out for vehicles emerging from driveways.
Anticipate the presence of drives/side roads concealed from view by bends, vegetation, or vehicles ahead.
Ensure that you are visible as possible to other drivers:
As narrow vehicles, motorcyclists can easily be overlooked, and can be completely hidden from view by intervening lamp columns, telegraph poles etc. along the other drives line of sight.
Choose appropriate speeds on approaches to junction. A driver emerging from a side road, cannot give way to a motorcyclist who cannot yet be seen, but which appears at high speed before the manoeuvre is completed. This is particularly applicable to slow moving goods vehicles or farm vehicles.

Overtaking -

About 1 in 5 of motorcyclist accidents involve overtaking. Almost 1 in 3 of the overtaking accidents involved motorcyclists passing stationary or slow moving vehicles e.g. in traffic queues, where the most common accident type was another vehicle turning right (either into or out of a side road or private drive) or U turning, across the motorcyclists path. In other overtaking accidents, the commonest accident type was when the overtaken vehicle turned right as he motorcyclist was overtaking.

Tips:

Be as visible as possible to other drivers.
Anticipate that other drivers may not have seen you and be prepared for their actions.
Do not overtake near side roads or where cars may emerge from private drives/accesses; or do so with caution.
Be aware of oncoming vehicles which may turn right across your path.

Bends

About 1 in 4 of motorcycle accidents occurred on bends.

Tips:

Ensure speed is appropriate to negotiate bend without losing control, taking account of road surface condition.
Anticipate hazards which may be concealed by the bend and be able to stop in time to avoid them.

General riding

Many of the riders involved in accidents were not driving appropriately for the conditions, especially with regard to speed (in 1 in 4 of the accidents excess speed was a contributory factor).

Drivers of vehicles are often unaware of a motorcyclist’s presence. It is necessary for motorcyclists to become 'defensive' drivers in order to avoid becoming casualties.

Tips to pass your Driving test in 1st attempt

noreply@blogger.com (amin) — Wed, 23 Nov 2011 10:23:00 +0000

The motorbike theory test is made up of two parts: multiple choice part and hazard perception part.

The first part in motorbike test is the multiple choice part consisting of 50 questions. This section is designed to test your understanding of the theory behind driving. You need to get 43 questions right out of 50 and the time limit is 57 minutes.

The motorbike test is a computer-based test at various tests centres around the country.
This section is designed to test your understanding of the theory behind driving. Before the motorbike theory test starts you'll be given instructions on how the test works.

You can also choose to go through a practice session of the multiple choice driving test questions to get used to the layout of the test. At the end of the practice session the real test will begin.

The second part in motorbike test is the Hazard perception. This section is designed to test your awareness of potential hazards whilst driving. You will be shown 14 clips of 1 minute each having 15 hazards in all (1 clip will have 2 hazards).
The test is for 75 marks (5 marks / hazard) and pass marks are 44. The hazard perception part is also delivered on a computer but you respond by clicking a button on the mouse. The earlier you spot a hazard developing that may require the driver to take some action, the higher the score.

Unlike multiple choice questions, for the hazard perception test there are no separate versions for different vehicles e.g. car, bike, heavy vehicle etc, each vehicle category takes the same test, however the pass mark is different for different categories of tests.

You won't be able to review your answers to the hazard perception test; as on the road, you'll only have one chance to respond to the developing hazard. For information about hazard perception test visit our site.

If you pass one part and fail the other you will fail the whole motorbike theory test , and need to take both parts again.

At the end of the hazard perception part of the theory test you'll be invited to answer few customer survey questions.
Once you have passed motorbike test only then you can apply to take the practical driving test.

Motorbike practical test:

The aim of the new test is to improve the standard of the skill and road safety of motorbike and moped riders. This group amongst all users of the road faces the highest risk of injury or death, particularly in the case for young and inexperienced riders.

DSA Car and Bike Driving Theory Test

noreply@blogger.com (amin) — Tue, 22 Nov 2011 10:13:00 +0000

Why hazard perception test was introduced?

New drivers are disproportionately involved in road accidents, especially in the first months after passing a Driving test exam. It has been proven that drivers who have taken Hazard perception test training have much better hazard perception skills.

About hazard perception test -

The hazard perception test tips are online computer-based tips, which measure driver's ability to anticipate and appropriately respond to potentially dangerous situations while driving.

In hazard perception test, you will see video clips of genuine, traffic scenes filmed from the driver's perspective. When you watch the clips, you need to imagine that you are the driver.

In each hazard clip there will be at least one developing hazard, but one of these clips will feature two developing hazards.
As early as you can, you will need to watch the clip carefully and try to predict the traffic hazard. you need to respond straight away, as soon as you predict that a traffic hazard is likely to happen. A traffic hazard is something that would require the driver to take some action like overtake, slow down or change course.

Rather the potential hazards, the hazard perception test are designed to get the candidate to identify 'Developing Hazards'.

For example: School sign is not a developing hazard, but if you see school children about to cross the road, then it becomes a developing hazard and needs to be identified.

Watch out for following hazards, as these are the likely situations where developing hazard may turn in to actual hazard, while appearing for the hazard perception test

Vehicles make the road narrow
Junctions and roundabouts
Horse riders
Loose pets and farmyard animals
Vehicles emerging from side roads, parking places or driveways
Large vehicles moving over to your side of the road
Changes in the traffic movement and volume
Weather conditions of the day
Pedestrians or cyclists crossing the road
Meeting oncoming vehicles on narrow roads or where other obstructions or slow moving

Hazard perception test scoring mechanism:

Each scoring window is divided into five equal sections and a score of five through to one allocated to each. Those responding in the first section of the scoring window will score 5 and those in last segment a score of 1. Responses outside the window will score zero.

Scoring in hazard perception test is not difficult at all. You need to practice variety of clips and understand the DSA theory test.

New theory test changes from Jan 2012

noreply@blogger.com (amin) — Tue, 15 Nov 2011 08:00:00 +0000

New theory test changes from Jan 2012 -

From this date onwards, DSA is to stop publishing the live multiple choice questions used in all theory tests.

However, the DSA will continue to release publication of practice, non- live theory test questions for revision purposes (the official revision question banks.

How exactly would it affect candidates?

If you are taking your theory test before 1st Jan 2012, you will be asked the exact same questions as they are published here. But if you are taking theory test after 1st January 2012, you need to know about the changes in the UK theory test.

The questions in the exam will not be exactly same as they are published.

The DSA will not distribute the real/exam questions.

Real/live exam questions will not appear in any product - book, CD, mobile applications or on any website.

So your test would contain questions which are unpublished.

Revision questions Vs live questions ?

Revision questions is the source material published by DSA

Whereas the live/exam questions are the questions based on the revision questions - which not appear in any product!

How many questions do you need to prepare for tests after Jan 2012?

There are approximately 1200+ revision car, bike questions in DSA published questions bank.

Your exam questions will be based on these questions.

So you will need to practice these official DSA theory test revision questions.

Why DSA has introduced this change?

The idea is that driving test candidates need to learn and understand the theory and gain the appropriate knowledge required to be a safe driver on the road and withdrawing access to the questions and answers bank will stop people from just memorising just to pass the theory test which is very common with learner drivers.

Is theory test pattern changing from Jan 2012 ?

noreply@blogger.com (amin) — Tue, 08 Nov 2011 08:20:00 +0000

There is no change in theory test pattern. Theory test is still the same. The theory test is made up of two parts; the multiple choice part and the hazard perception part. If you pass one part and fail the other you'll fail the whole test, and you'll need to take both parts again. As part of the multiple choice section of the test, the case study will assess candidates' understanding of driving theory, while the multiple choice questions will continue to assess their knowledge of the subject.

In hazard perception test - You'll be presented with a series of 14 video clips each about a minute long, which feature every day road scenes. In each clip there'll be at least one developing hazard, but one of the clips will feature two developing hazards.
Once you have passed the theory test you can then apply to take your driving practical test (car practical test or motorcycle practical test).

Is the new driving test more difficult after Jan 2012?
No. New test is designed to encourage you to understand the knowledge behind the theory.
This new approach to learning will help to gain a better knowledge and understanding of driving theory which will help respond correctly to the new, re-worded live questions used in the actual test.

How to prepare for theory test?
Make sure you practice enough before appearing for exam.
- Understand all the DSA revision questions
- Learn road signs, Highway code rules
- Many learner drivers fail in hazard perception test, mainly because of lack of knowledge about the hazard test itself.
If you understand the hazard perception test, how it works, how to score, what to look for etc, it's not at all difficult to score good in the hazard test. Practice as many interactive hazard clips as you can.

DSA theory test changes Jan 2012

noreply@blogger.com (amin) — Mon, 07 Nov 2011 05:53:00 +0000

From 1 January 2012, new theory tests will be introduced using questions and answers that the public will not have had access to, making any previous Driving theory test

Since theory tests began in 1996, the Driving Standards Agency (DSA) has published the questions and answers from the question banks for all categories of tests for cars, motorcycles, lorries and buses.
However, DSA announced last November that it was to stop publishing the multiple choice questions and answers, with unpublished questions being used from January 2012.

After that date, the questions a candidate will be asked on test will not be exactly the same as those in their learning materials. So in short - Questions will be drawn from new 'live' theory test question banks, which will not be published.

DSA's chief executive Rosemary Thew said:

The reason behind the move is to stop candidates from simply memorisingTheory test questions and answers and learning by rote. The new books contain questions and answers for revision and also explain the theory behind each question.

This approach to learning will help candidates to gain a better knowledge and understanding of driving theory which will help them respond correctly to the new, re-worded live questions used in the actual test.

The idea is that Driving test candidates need to learn and understand the theory and gain the appropriate knowledge required to be a safe driver on the road and withdrawing access to the questions and answers bank will stop people from just memorising just to pass the theory test which is very common from my experience with learner drivers. But we would like to assure you that the tests will not be harder, but will support DSA's aims to move candidates away from learning questions and answers by rote and towards their gaining better knowledge and understanding of driving and riding theory.

You would need to study these practice, non-live theory test questions for revision purposes (the Official Revision Question Banks). These questions are to test your knowledge and understanding of the source material.

We wish you all the best for your DSA theory test and Theory test practice.

DSA driving practical test maneuvers/manoeuvres

noreply@blogger.com (amin) — Sat, 05 Nov 2011 12:47:00 +0000

About DSA driving practical test maneuvers/manoeuvres

Choosing a driving instructor for your practical lessons -

One-in-eight driving instructors 'not qualified'

According to recent telegraph news - one in eight driving instructors are not fully qualified, claimed the AA, which demanded the Government force driving schools to be more transparent.

The motoring group said the Government should intervene to insist learner drivers are told more clearly whether their instructor had yet to fully qualify or not. At present, the only legal requirement is for the trainee instructor to display an official pink badge in the windscreen.

The AA said that while trainee instructors have passed exams demonstrating advanced practical and theory driving knowledge, they have yet to sit a third exam testing their ability to instruct

You need to be careful while choosing the driving instructor.

Driving instructor role is very important while you are preparing for your driving lessons.

Approved driving instructor (ADI) can give you proper guidance on your DSA practical test.

He/She will also teach you driving maneuvers/manoeuvres.

About DSA Driving practical test maneuvers/manoeuvres -

In your DSA practical test, you will then be examined on your general driving and on two reversing exercises. The reversing exercises will be chosen from:

- reversing around a corner
- turning in the road

- reverse parking

You may also be asked to carry out an emergency stop exercise.

What is expected in each driving practical test maneuvers/manoeuvres -

Reverse parking -

Drive alongside a parked car and reverse back within the space of two car lengths without hitting the kerb and whilst observing for other road users.

Turn in the road -

Turn the car around using forward and reverse gears without hitting the kerb and whilst observing for other road users.

Reverse to the left -

Reverse in to a side road to your left, keep close to the kerb and observe for other road users.

Bay parking -

Reverse in to a car park bay, whilst observing for other road users.

Emergency stop -

Stop the car as in an emergency, without skidding.

Throughout the test you should drive in the way your instructor has taught you. If you make a mistake, don't worry about it, it might be a less serious driving fault and may not affect your result. The examiner will be looking for an overall safe standard of driving.

You can make up to 15 driving faults and still pass the test (16 or more results in failure). However, if you commit one serious or dangerous fault you will fail the test. If at any time your examiner considers you to be a danger to other road users your test will be stopped.
