Attitude

Attitude questions examine how you behave towards other road users — and they catch out more candidates than you might expect. The DVSA is not just testing your knowledge of the Highway Code; it is testing whether you have the mindset of a safe, considerate driver. This category covers topics such as dealing with aggressive drivers, giving way to pedestrians and cyclists, driving under pressure, and the responsibilities that come with being in control of a vehicle. Questions often present scenarios where the "obvious" answer — speeding up to keep up with traffic, for example — is actually wrong. A key insight for this category: the DVSA consistently rewards patience and consideration over speed and convenience. If an answer involves flashing your headlights, sounding your horn, or pressuring another road user, it is almost certainly wrong. Work through these 60 practice questions to develop the calm, responsible attitude that the real theory test rewards — and that makes you a safer driver.
