The pass mark is much easier &#8211; just 30 questions out of the 35 rather than 43 out of 50. You still have to do the 14 hazard perception clips.<\/p>\n<p>Taking the Safe Road User course means that you would have already answered 20 questions from the Highway Code.<\/p>\n<p>Designed to help change driving attitudes and build road sense among young people in the UK, it was developed in collaboration with the Driving and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA).<\/p>\n<h2>Why is there an abridged theory test and Safe Road User award?<\/h2>\n<p>The government wants to reduce serious deaths and injuries on the roads and is targeting education of young people. When young people move from driving with a friend, relative or parent to driving on their own, the attitudes they have about driving and their ability to process the amount of information required when driving influences the likelihood they&#8217;ll have a crash. Young, inexperienced drivers are involved in a disproportionate number of incidents and it&#8217;s often other vulnerable road users such as cyclists and pedestrians that pay the price.<\/p>\n<p>Ensuring that young road users start with the right attitude is easier than trying to retrain existing drivers. Over time, this should have a flow-on effect of better driving standards, regardless of the vehicle they are using.<\/p>\n<h2>What does the award teach?<\/h2>\n<p>It consists of two Units which will enable you to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>develop responsible, careful and considerate attitudes towards yourself and other road users<\/li>\n<li>develop the knowledge and understanding you need to be a safe road user<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The principal aims of the Award are to enable candidates to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>develop responsible, careful and considerate attitudes towards road use<\/li>\n<li>develop positive, considerate behaviour when using the road<\/li>\n<li>become more proficient when using the road<\/li>\n<li>understand the impact that other roads users have on them and the impact that they may have on other road users<\/li>\n<li>understand the importance of co-operating and communicating with other road users in a safe and constructive manner<\/li>\n<li>prepare for a journey by road by identifying the factors to be considered before setting out<\/li>\n<li>understand the key elements of the Highway Code.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It is usually given to people aged 14-16 in schools, colleges, youth clubs, etc. It does not include actual driving instruction or experience but draws on the candidates&#8217; experience of being a road user as a cyclist, pedestrian or being driven by an adult such as a parent.<\/p>\n<h2>How to book the abridged theory test<\/h2>\n<p>You can&#8217;t book the abridged theory test online; use the phone number below.
