Online, September 14, 2009 (Newswire.com) - The motorcycle driving test is made up of two parts; the multiple choice part and the hazard

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 second part is the Hazard perception test . 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.
If you pass one part and fail the other you will fail the whole theory test, and need to
take both parts again. Once you have passed the motorcycle theory test only then you can
apply to take the practical driving test .
The standard fee for the Motorcycle Theory test is £31.00.
