DNVT Driving Theory study plan

Draw and label every sign category (regulatory, warning, guide, information) from memory, then check against a reference list and record any gaps

State the meaning and required driver action for at least 40 priority signs, including stop, yield, no entry, speed limits and prohibitory plates

Explain the difference between mandatory, prohibitory and warning sign shapes and colours, and identify which shape alone signals a hazard

Interpret road markings by function: lane lines, edge lines, hatched areas, box junctions and kerb markings

Describe how signal phases (red, amber, green, filter arrows, flashing amber) change your right of way at junctions

Match each sign and marking to the specific rule it enforces, writing the rule in one sentence beside it

Explain priority at unmarked and marked junctions, roundabouts, and T-junctions using the correct right-of-way sequence

Describe correct lane discipline on multi-lane roads and at roundabout exits, including when to signal and when not to

State the rules for overtaking, being overtaken, and passing stationary vehicles such as buses and trams

Apply pedestrian crossing rules for zebra, signalised, and school crossings, including the meaning of the flashing signals

List the full sequence of actions for turning at junctions, including mirror, signal, manoeuvre and position checks

Explain the hierarchy of road users and how it changes your following distance and approach speed near cyclists and pedestrians

Describe the rules for stopping, parking, and waiting, including restrictions near junctions, crossings and bus stops

State speed limit rules for built-up areas, rural roads, motorways and special zones, and how to identify limits without a visible sign

Explain motorway rules covering joining, lane use, hard shoulder, exit and prohibited vehicles

Apply the two-second rule and calculate safe following distances at 30, 50, 80 and 100 km/h in wet and dry conditions

Describe the observation cycle for mirrors, blind spots and shoulder checks before every change of direction

Identify the top ten distraction sources and state a concrete countermeasure for each

Explain how to anticipate and respond to vulnerable road users, including children, older pedestrians and cyclists at junctions

Describe defensive positioning when approaching crests, bends and parked cars, including hazard perception scanning

Explain the function of primary controls (steering, brakes, accelerator, clutch, gears) and the correct hand and foot sequence for a smooth stop

Describe the checks and responses for tyre pressure, tread depth, brake fluid, coolant, oil and warning lights

State the correct action for skids, aquaplaning, brake fade and sudden tyre failure, including steering and braking inputs

Adapt speed, following distance and lighting to rain, fog, ice, snow and high wind, and state when visibility requires dipped headlights

Explain night-driving limits: glare management, overdriving headlights, and the correct use of main beam around other road users

Describe the immediate actions at a collision scene: protect the scene, check for danger, call emergency services and give a location

State the DRABC sequence and demonstrate how to check responsiveness, airway and breathing

Explain how to control severe bleeding, position a casualty in recovery position, and when not to move an injured person

Describe the correct use of warning triangles, hazard lights and reflective clothing on a live carriageway

Identify the legal duties after a collision, including stopping, exchanging details and reporting to police within the required time

List the documents a driver must carry or produce, and state the validity, renewal and insurance requirements for each

Explain the penalty point system, disqualification thresholds and the difference between fixed penalties and court summons

Describe the legal alcohol limit, how it is measured, and the consequences of refusing a test

State the rules on mobile phone use, seat belts, child restraints and carrying loads

Explain how fatigue, medication and illness affect fitness to drive and when you must not drive

Complete three full-length timed mock exams under test conditions and record every score by domain

Re-study only the two weakest domains, using the week 1 to 7 deliverables as revision notes

Re-drill every missed question until you can explain the correct answer without looking at notes

Practise the exam interface and timing strategy, including how to flag and skip uncertain questions
