What should you do to prepare for your driving theory test?

Faring well in your driving theory test online means that you have enough theoretical knowledge of the nuances of driving and that you are eligible for consideration.  Therefore, standard preparation for the test must be taken by each and every one aspiring to fare well in the test. But preparing for the driving theory test online can be a bit tricky with so many websites available providing tutorials and guidelines. The candidate is likely to get confused on which to follow. In my opinion preparation for your driving theory test must start with studying the Highway Code. One can find the required study materials among the numerous publication of the DVSA (Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency). They are available online as well as in print in local book stores.

What exactly is the Highway Code?

A very essential part of the concerned theory is the Highway Code. The Highway Codes mainly constitute of legal requirements and in case you disobey these concerned rules you end up committing a criminal offence. And on committing such an offence you may have to pay a hefty fine, face disqualification from driving or may receive penalty points against your license. In the most serious case you might face a prison charge. Therefore, a thorough study of the Highway Code will help in reducing your distress as well as the number of casualties on the road.

Learn the Traffic signs well

The behavior of the daily pedestrians and the uses of the road depend largely upon their understanding of road signs. Traffic signs hence make the roads a bit safer for everyone and therefore all must learn adequately about them. Knowing your traffic signs well also enhances your chances of coming through your driving theory test.
 

The basics traffic signs are of three types each varying in function.

1. Warning traffic signs
2. Informative traffic signs
3. Ordering traffic signs.
   

The above mentioned types of traffic signs vary in their shapes and sizes and often also differ in color.

Perception of Hazard

This part is delivered via a computer and all you are required to do is respond through a click of the mouse button. Everyday scenes from the road will be presented to you by video clips. The common aspect about each of those video clips is that they showcase at least a single hazard. You have to recognize those developing hazards after seeing those videos.

This ensures that the skill of recognizing danger and having a clear perception of danger is well developed among drivers irrespective of the vehicle he uses. Each developing hazard will hold five points and hence a correct answer will reward you with five points.
