Car driving test - sgavan - 09-02-13
Hi I was just wondering if anyone could help me with some information, I have a full bike licence since 2002 and was thinking of getting my car licence . I just wanted to know what the procedure is, do I need to do another theory test and the hazrd perception test? I have done a theory test but not the hazard perception, which wasn't out at the time. I have looked around but can't seem to find out how to go from a bike to a car licence, theres lots about going from a car to bike. I just don't like riding in the cold anymore
.Thanks
Ste

I'm not 100% sure, but I'd make a guess that it's the same both ways round. I passed my car test in 1990. When I did my bike test in 2004, I had to sit a theory test, and the hazard perception. I can't think why it would be different the other way round, so start reading your highway code ;-)

you've gotta do it all. & you also have to pass um both! so if ya pass the theory but fail the hazard you'll have to go back & do um both again...... which you'll have to pay for again (63 quid IIRC)

Wot he said - I did the same only getting a car licence when Mrs Nutz told me I had to as babies find panniers uncomfy.

If you didn't know already, the hazard perception is part of the theory and sat after the question section in the same sitting. You should be alright on the hazard section since you have road experience. I've done it twice and it was far easier after a few years on the road.
For the practical test you need to show the examiner you have a total disregard for other road users. Checking blind spots, not blocking junctions and leaving an appropriate gap from the car in front are automatic fails.
