Can the test be done in British Sign Language not a written language?

[dsagov]

@PollyEsterFlares If you are deaf or have hearing difficulties you can ask to take the theory test in British sign language (BSL).

The BSL interpretation will run alongside the standard test questions and answers.

If you do not use BSL, an interpreter can be taken into the test centre. This needs to be arranged through the theory test customer services section.

There is no extra fee for either facility.

I payed for my test and it is on wednesday. All I need is provisonal driving license and counterpart license right?

[dsagov]

@MrDataCode If you have a photocard provisional licence, you'll need to bring both parts - the card and the counterpart; if you have an old-style paper licence, you'll need to bring that and a valid passport. You can also bring your confirmation letter as well if you wish. Read the page on Directgov called 'Documents to bring to your driving theory test' for more details.

Was my first test today - passed 50/50 and 61/75 for hazard with only a one week revision...oh yeah!

@UrLatestMoviesOnline Congratulations! Do you fancy the chance to win a £10 Amazon voucher? Go to Facebook and look up 'I can't wait to pass my driving test!

[TheIceMurder]

The multiple choice part of the theory test is common sense while the hazard perception is just there to increase revenue. There is a possiblity of clicking too early which is absurd, your field of view is also restricted so it doesn't simulate real driving correctly and its possible for more than one hazard to develop at a time.

@18scotslad thank you. i just read through the highway code book and bought the hazard perception dvd then did the practice theory tests on the dsa website. have you got your theory test soon?

[18scotslad]

@FriendsReunion1 How did you study for it. Got any tips. Congratulations on passing.

[FriendsReunion1]

I just passed my theory test! :D yaaaaaay!

@Mclovinchilli did you pass ? :P

[butterflyfantasy92]

@MarkMck1994 You need to have 44 or more marks to pass on your Multiple Choice.

[imzypops]

Mine is at 3.00pm, after reading through topics on my DSA disc and the highway code I haven't failed any of my practices and I've done 10+. I recommend to read and keep on practising mock tests, writing down or acknowledging errors you made. As for Hazard Perception, I got this other Disc that has hundreds of them on and when revising it helps, because you might get used to watching the same ones. I actually feel confident to pass, hopefully I calm down the trigger finger on Hazard Perception!

Passed mine today 48/50 and 59/75! (Clicked too many times on one of the Hazard perception clips so make sure you only click when necessary and good luck)! :)

[mozzajunior]

I've got mine tomorrow (Christmas Eve) :)

ATTENTION!!!Watchout guys.They fail people.There are people complaining and I bet this comment will be deleted soon.They treat one sort of people in one way, rest different.Hazard perception is there to do the job!!!YOU can not prove anything.
