Knowledge test guidance
Frequently asked questions about the knowledge test
Do I need to have local knowledge of Stockton-on-Tees?
Knowledge of locations will only be part of the Hackney and Combined test. We recommend you should obtain some knowledge of the local area before you start work or attend your knowledge test.
For example:
- local schools and colleges
- local train stations
- local hospitals
- public buildings such as Billingham Forum, Splash
Why do I need to answer questions on the highway code when I have already done this to obtain my DVLA driving licence?
Over time it is easy to forget some of the rules of the road. The overriding concern is for the safety of the public. Questions in the test regarding The Highway Code are a refresher for applicants. Please ensure you re-familiarise yourself with the code thoroughly before sitting the knowledge test.
