Theory

Motorcycle
theory test.
Since 14 November 2002
you will be asked to answer 35 multiple choice questions, followed by a test of
your hazard perception skills. You will need to pass both parts of the theory
test at the same sitting to obtain your theory test pass certificate. The test
is done on a computer.
What is the multiple choice part of the test?
This part consists of 35 multiple choice questions covering a wide range of
driving topics. By touching the screen, you select an answer, or answers, from
the selection shown. To pass you must answer 30 or more questions correctly in
40 minutes.
You have the option of working through a practice session lasting up to 15
minutes to get used to the system before starting the actual test.
How does the hazard perception part work?
After a break of up to three minutes, the hazard perception part will start. You
will be shown a tutorial video first. This uses sample footage with a sound
track (headphones supplied), which will explain how to complete this part of the
test. You may repeat the tutorial once more if you wish.
The test consists of 14 video clips, each lasting about one minute. The clips
feature various types of hazards, such as vehicles, pedestrians and road
conditions. You should respond by pressing a mouse button as soon as you see a
hazard developing that may result in the driver having to take some action, such
as changing speed or direction. The earlier the developing hazard is spotted,
and a response made, the higher the score.
Candidates can score up to five marks on each hazard and the test contains 15
scoreable hazards.
The pass mark for this part of the test is 44 out of 75 for car drivers and
motorcycle riders.
