If you have a Safe Road User Award
You can take a shorter version of the theory test if you got a Safe Road User Award in the last 3 years. It’s called the ‘abridged theory test’.
You have to answer 35 multiple-choice questions instead of 50. The pass mark is 30 out of 35.
You’ll still be tested on 14 hazard perception clips.
