Theory test query?

Question

Does anyone know how long the theory test lasts for in the UK? i.e when does it expire and you have to re sit? Am thinking about taking up driving lessons again but dont know if theory test that i passed is still valid?

cheers

Answer 1

You have to pass your practical test within two years of passing your theory else you'll have to re-sit the theory

Answer 2

sorry i dont know the answer but i will keep a close eye on your answers my son is 14 and will need to know the answers to these questions - mind you they could change the rules again by the time he takes his test. good luck anyway take yor time with the lessons dont rush - i began taking lessons and gave up then started again then gave up until i reached the rip old age of 30 then took the lessons with a view to pass this time - got through in just two tests - of course i didnt have the theory test to pass then they hadnt brought that in all those years ago!

Answer 3

2 years is the time allowed between passing your theory and your practical...if you don't do it in the 2 years you have to do the theory test again!

I just passed my practical with literally a few weeks to spare of my theory certificate expiring!! Good luck

Answer 4

I believe you have 12 months from passing your theory test to passing your practical test.. It's either 12 or 24 months..

Answer 5

In the UK you have two years to complete your driving test.

If you haven't passed the practical after two years, the theory will expire and you would have to re-sit the theory again.

The validation date starts from the day that you pass the theory until 2 years time.
