Car Theory test changes: 14 April 2020

Posted 26.02.2020

New information has been published by the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency on changes to the Theory Test.

The way the theory test works in England, Scotland and Wales will change from 14 April 2020. The same changes will apply in Northern Ireland.

The car theory test will include 3 multiple-choice questions based on a short video you'll watch.

The change will make the theory test more accessible, especially to people with a:

  • reading difficulty (like dyslexia)
  • learning disability
  • developmental condition (like autism)

The change only applies to car theory tests to begin with.
