Car Theory Test Practice: Safety Margins, Stopping Distances & Bad Weather

Revise the “safety margins” topic of the car theory test: the Highway Code’s typical stopping distances, following gaps, and how rain, ice, snow, fog, wind and heat change the space you need. Includes the stopping distance table, a memory method and worked examples. Ends with a timed 15-question practice test at the real test’s pace and pass standard.

All questions are original practice questions written by Tutwoo from the Highway Code and Know Your Traffic Signs – they are not taken from DVSA’s revision question bank or the real test. This course covers the multiple-choice part of the car theory test only; the hazard perception part is a separate video-based test. Book your real theory test only through GOV.UK (gov.uk/book-theory-test; in Northern Ireland, through nidirect).
