The Theory Test
The theory test is a test you must pass, before you will even be allowed to book your practical test. The test was introduced in 2000, and its designed to ensure pupils develop a good overall knowledge of a variety of subjects that results in better drivers.
A lot of pupils worry unnecessarily about the Theory Test, however, whilst learning to drive with A Roarin’ Success, you will have full access to online training with Theory Test Pro. Complete the syllabus, online and you’ll pass the test very easily, however…
