UK driving theory practice questions with explanations, timed mock tests, hazard perception training, the Highway Code and UK road signs in one clean app.

**Quick answer:** RoadTick: Driving Theory Test is a free iPhone & iPad app by Muhammad Shahid Khan (Hazard Perception & Mock Tests). This page lists all 10 guides for it. Each one answers a single real question in plain language, with screenshots from the app.

## All RoadTick guides

- [UK Driving Theory Test 2026: Format, Pass Marks and How to Prepare](https://shahid09.is-a.dev/blog/uk-driving-theory-test-guide/): The UK car theory test has two parts taken in one sitting: 50 multiple-choice questions in 57 minutes (pass mark 43) and a hazard perception test of 14 video clips scored out of 75 (pass mark 44). You must pass both parts at the same time. It costs £23 in Great Britain and the pass certificate is valid for 2 years.
- [Hazard Perception Test Tips: How to Score 44+ Out of 75](https://shahid09.is-a.dev/blog/hazard-perception-test-tips/): Click as soon as you see a hazard start to develop, the moment it would make a driver slow down or change direction, then click once or twice more as it develops. Each of the 15 hazards scores up to 5 points, and the pass mark is 44 out of 75. Clicking constantly or in a rhythm scores zero for that clip.
- [UK Road Signs Explained: Shapes, Colours and the Signs Learners Get Wrong](https://shahid09.is-a.dev/blog/uk-road-signs-explained/): UK road signs follow a simple system: circles give orders, triangles warn and rectangles inform. Red circles tell you what you must not do, blue circles tell you what you must do. Direction signs are blue on motorways, green on primary routes and white on other roads. Learn the system first and most individual signs explain themselves.
- [How to Use Driving Theory Mock Tests to Pass First Time](https://shahid09.is-a.dev/blog/driving-theory-mock-test-strategy/): Start full mock tests only after you have practised every topic. Take them under real conditions (50 questions, 57 minutes), review every wrong answer, and practise those topics before the next mock. You are ready to book when you score 46 or more out of 50 in several mocks in a row, giving you a margin over the real pass mark of 43.
- [How to Revise the Highway Code Without Reading It Cover to Cover](https://shahid09.is-a.dev/blog/highway-code-revision-guide/): Revise the Highway Code by section, not front to back. Focus first on the rules tested most: hierarchy of road users (Rules H1 to H3), speed limits and stopping distances, junctions and roundabouts, motorways, vulnerable road users and signs and markings. Test yourself with practice questions after each section.
- [UK Stopping Distances for the Theory Test: Chart, Car Lengths and an Easy Way to Remember](https://shahid09.is-a.dev/blog/stopping-distances-uk-theory-test/): In good conditions the Highway Code stopping distances for a car are 12 m at 20 mph, 23 m at 30 mph, 36 m at 40 mph, 53 m at 50 mph, 73 m at 60 mph and 96 m at 70 mph. Each is thinking distance plus braking distance. Stopping distances can be twice as long on wet roads and up to ten times as long on ice.
- [UK Roundabout Rules: Lanes, Signals and Mini-Roundabouts Explained](https://shahid09.is-a.dev/blog/roundabout-rules-uk/): At a UK roundabout you give way to traffic coming from your right, unless signs or markings say otherwise. To turn left, signal left and use the left lane. To go straight ahead, usually use the left lane with no signal on approach. To turn right, signal right and use the right lane. In every case, signal left after passing the exit before the one you want.
- [UK Motorway Rules and Signs: Lanes, Smart Motorways, Red X and Breakdowns](https://shahid09.is-a.dev/blog/motorway-rules-and-signs-uk/): On UK motorways the limit for cars is 70 mph unless signs say otherwise. Keep to the left lane unless overtaking, and never undertake. A red X means the lane is closed: you must not drive in it. Signs are blue, and the 300, 200 and 100 yard countdown markers show the next exit. If you break down, leave at the next exit or stop in an emergency area, and call 999 if you are stuck in a live lane.
- [UK Road Markings Explained: White Lines, Yellow Lines, Zigzags and Cat’s Eyes](https://shahid09.is-a.dev/blog/uk-road-markings-explained/): UK road markings follow a simple rule: the more paint, the stricter the rule. Broken white lines are warnings or lane markers; solid white lines must not be crossed. Double yellow lines mean no waiting at any time, single yellow means no waiting at the times on nearby signs, and zigzags at crossings mean no stopping or parking. Red routes ban stopping altogether.
- [Theory Test Day: What to Bring, What Happens and What to Expect](https://shahid09.is-a.dev/blog/theory-test-day-what-to-expect/): Bring your photocard provisional driving licence and arrive early: without the licence you cannot sit the test, and you lose the fee. Personal items go in a locker. You can do a short practice session, then answer 50 multiple-choice questions in 57 minutes (pass mark 43). After a break of up to 3 minutes you watch the hazard perception tutorial and 14 clips (pass mark 44 of 75). You get your result before you leave.

## Common questions about RoadTick

### How many questions are in the UK driving theory test?

### What do circular road signs mean?

Circles give orders. A red ring or circle tells you what you must not do, and a blue circle tells you what you must do.

### Are mock theory tests like the real test?

Good mock tests copy the real format: 50 questions in 57 minutes on the same topics. The exact real questions are not published, so no mock can guarantee the same questions.

### Do I need to read the whole Highway Code for the theory test?

You need to know it, but reading it cover to cover is not the most effective way. Revise it section by section and test yourself after each one.

### What is the stopping distance at 30 mph?

23 metres in good conditions: 9 m thinking and 14 m braking, about 6 car lengths.

### Who has priority at a roundabout in the UK?

Traffic already on the roundabout, coming from your right. Give way to it unless signs, markings or lights say otherwise.

### What is the motorway speed limit in the UK?

70 mph for cars and motorcycles, unless signs show a lower limit. 60 mph for cars towing and goods vehicles over 7.5 tonnes.

### Can I cross a solid white line?

Not if the solid line is on your side, except to pass a stationary vehicle, turn off the road, or overtake a cyclist, horse rider or maintenance vehicle doing 10 mph or less.

### What do I need to bring to my theory test?

Your photocard provisional driving licence. Without it you cannot sit the test and will lose the fee.
