Pass the Northern Ireland Car Theory Test 2027

Preparing for the car theory test in Northern Ireland? This guide explains the Highway Code rules, signs, figures, penalties and the new learner and new driver rules at the level the test asks for, then lets you practise until the answers come without hesitation.
The real test has two parts taken at the same sitting: 50 multiple-choice questions, with 43 correct answers needed to pass, and hazard perception, with a pass mark of 44 out of 75. The book explains both parts, shows you how to read the questions and avoid the usual traps, and covers the Graduated Driver Licensing rules that began on 1 October 2026, including R plates and the probation period. The practice questions use the book's own four-option format, so you train on the rules rather than on a copy of the test.
What is inside:
- 10 short chapters you can read on a phone: your route to a Northern Ireland car licence, the theory test format and method, speed limits and stopping distances, junctions, roundabouts and crossings, signals, lights, signs and road markings, overtaking, lanes and motorways, parking, reversing, vehicle checks and documents, braking, skids, bad weather and tiredness, vulnerable road users, accidents and first aid, and alcohol, phones, penalty points and new driver rules
- 3 appendices: numbers to remember, a glossary, and a seven-day revision plan
- 30 Test Yourself questions at the end of the chapters
- 200 original practice questions, every one with the correct answer and a short explanation
- 4 full mock tests of 50 questions each, in the book's four-option format
Rules are current at the time of writing. Where a point could not be confirmed, the book says so and tells you to check with the Driver and Vehicle Agency (DVA) or your instructor.
All questions are original. This is an independent study guide: it is not produced, endorsed or approved by any authority or test organisation, and it does not contain real test questions. It does not replace your driving lessons or the Highway Code.
Part of the Pass the Test series.
Method of creation: this book was written with the help of artificial intelligence tools, under the author's direction; every rule was written from its source text and reviewed and every practice question was written for this book.
