theory test

Written driving prerequisite

A theory test is the written or computer-based portion of a driving examination, testing knowledge of traffic laws, road signs, and safe driving principles rather than actual vehicle operation.

Standard in the UK and other countries: I passed my theory test on the first try, but I'm nervous about the practical.

Distinguished from the practical driving test conducted in a vehicle.
