The Theory Test is the first gateway learner drivers have to pass through before booking their practical test. It puts your knowledge of The Highway Code to the test, to ensure you know the rules of the road and what to do in any given situation. Currently just under half (49%) of learner drivers do not correctly answer the number of questions to pass \u2013 which is 43 out of 50.<\/p>\n
