The road is a dangerous place, especially for kids and older pedestrians, cyclists, motorcyclists and horse riders. The DVSA developed the Official Highway Code to protect them and other vulnerable road users, and to minimise the number of road accidents and casualties.

The Driving Test
Theory and Hazard Perception
Before taking your driving theory test, you need to read the full Highway Code online or study ‘The Official DVSA Guide to Driving – the essential skills’, which is available in most bookshops.
Never forget – driving can be fun but it also needs to be taken seriously. One in five new drivers have a crash within six months of passing their test (source: DVSA).
