Jersey Driving Theory Test
This page only focuses on the car and light van theory test.
There is a separate theory test for larger vehicles, such as lorries, buses, and coaches. To prepare for this test, the DVSA recommends a specific book on the topic, which can be found here.
Although the motorcycle theory test content differs to address unique aspects of riding, certain questions, such as those on road signs and general highway rules, align with the car and van theory test. Riders can also refer to DVSA-recommended materials, which provide comprehensive coverage of these shared topics alongside motorcycle-specific guidance. These materials can be found here.
Below, you will find detailed information about two key resources: the Official Jersey Driving Theory Test and the Mock Jersey Driving Theory Test.
The Official Jersey Driving Theory Test, administered at the Driving and Vehicle Standards (DVS) agency, is a mandatory first step toward obtaining your driver’s license.
Meanwhile, the Mock Jersey Driving Theory Test, available on this website, is designed to simulate the official test, helping you prepare effectively for the actual exam.
The official Jersey Driving Theory Test will contain:
- 50 multiple-choice questions (you need 43 to pass) based on the highway code. They can be about driving in Jersey, driving in general or operating the vehicle.
- 14 hazard perception videos (you need 44 out of 75 points). A developing hazard is something that would cause the driver to act, like changing speed or direction. There will be 1 video with 2 hazards. You’ll get a maximum of 5 points per hazard depending on how quickly you identify them.
- For more information on how to apply for this test please visit the Car and Light Van Licence page by clicking here.
- 20 multiple-choice questions out of a total of 100 different possible questions, it will not feature hazard perception videos.
- The official test requires an 86% success rate, so this test will require you to get 17 out of the 20 questions correctly to pass.
- This test will primarily focus on the theory test for Cars and light vans, it will include questions that are UK specific such as questions around motorways, and Jersey specific questions around filter and turns; this reflects questions that will appear in the official Jersey Driving Theory Test.
