The official DSA titles for all drivers and riders.

You must pass the DSA theory test before taking the practical exam. The DSA theory test consists of two elements: The multiple choice part, where you must demonstrate your knowledge of the theory behind driving, and the hazard perception part which aims to test your awareness of potential hazards whilst driving. TSO publishes the official DSA theory test books, CD-ROMs and DVDs to help you prepare to pass both the multiple choice and the hazard perception parts of the DSA theory test, as well as the practical driving test.

Requiring 43 out of 50 questions to be answered correctly within 57 minutes, the DSA theory test can be a stressful experience for many a learner, young or old. In conjunction with The Official Highway Code, the Official DSA theory test products can take the stress out of passing the theory test by providing an excellent resource of information on the official questions and answers. All official DSA theory test publications include all the questions that you could be asked in the DSA theory test, as well as the official explanations as to why these answers are correct. They also tell you what to expect at the DSA Theory Test Centre, so you can relax and concentrate on getting that pass.

Introduced in 1996, the DSA theory test for learner drivers was designed specifically to help improve user understanding and promote better road safety in light of rising car accidents.

Offering the full official range of publications for all of the DSA theory test and practical tests, the online bookstore is a one-stop-shop for any learner driver or rider.
