What is the Driver Knowledge Test?
The DKT is a computer-based road rules knowledge test. You have to answer 45 questions. You’ll have to pay a test fee each time you attempt the test.
The computer selects the questions at random from a question bank of 600 questions. There are different tests for each class of licence.
The test includes:
- 15 general knowledge questions (you need to get at least 12 correct)
- 30 road safety questions (you need to get at least 29 correct)
The test will end immediately if you get:
- 4 questions wrong in the general knowledge section
- 2 wrong in the road safety section
You should read each question carefully before answering as there’s no time limit to complete the test.

The DKT is available in English, Arabic, Chinese, Croatian, Greek, Korean, Serbian, Spanish, Turkish and Vietnamese.
