Attitude Practice Questions
About This Topic
Attitude questions test whether you can share the road patiently and safely: following distances, giving way, responding to aggressive drivers and showing consideration to buses, horse riders and pedestrians. There are no trick rules here — the DVSA wants evidence that you put safety ahead of impatience.
What the DVSA tests here
- Keeping a safe separation gap and responding correctly to tailgating
- When to flash headlights, use the horn or give priority to other road users
- Why competitive or retaliatory driving raises the risk for everyone
Practising this topic
You can work through 39 questions covering attitude, with an explanation after every answer to reinforce the rule being tested. In the real car theory test the DVSA mixes all fourteen topics into one 50-question paper with a pass mark of 43, so no single subject can be skipped. Once your score settles above the pass threshold, move on to a timed mock test to check the topic holds up under exam pressure.
In the run-up to test day
Most learners find that little and often beats long cramming sessions: two or three short rounds of questions a day keep the rules fresh without wearing you out. Pair this topic with the matching chapters of the Highway Code, and use hazard perception clips to watch the same ideas play out on real roads. In the final week before your booking, switch from topic practice to full mock tests so you get used to the 57-minute time limit and to questions arriving in no particular order.
