Part I of the new two-part theory test consists of the old theory test, consisting of a test of driving theory. Part II consists of a test of the candidate’s ability to recognise hazards to driving (a “hazard perception test”).\nRegulation 4 increases the fee for a theory test in respect of any category of motor vehicle from £18 to £20·50.",
