ADI Part 1 Questions

So you’ve decided to become a driving instructor. Brilliant choice. But before you can sit in the passenger seat with those shiny dual controls, there’s one big hurdle waiting for you… the ADI Part 1 theory test.

And trust me — this isn’t just a tougher version of the learner test. It’s a deep dive into how driving really works. The law, the logic, and the learning behind safe driving for life

The ADI Part 1 test has two parts:”

1️⃣ Multiple Choice (100 Questions)” and “2️⃣ Hazard Perception (14 Clips)”]
“Part one — 100 multiple-choice questions across four subject bands:

• Road Procedure
• Traffic Signs & Signals
• Driving Test Techniques
• And Instructional Knowledge.”

“You’ll need 85% overall, and at least 80% in each band. So you can’t just coast through one area — you’ve got to be strong across the board.”
“Then there’s the hazard perception section — 14 clips, including one with two hazards. You’ll need a minimum of 57 out of 75.”

Now, here’s where the DVSA keeps things interesting — the twist question.”

Question:
“A pupil is following another vehicle at what they believe is a safe distance. It suddenly starts to rain heavily. What should you encourage them to do?”

A) Maintain their distance — they were already safe.
B) Drop back to at least a four-second gap.
C) Slow down slightly but keep the same distance.
D) Turn on hazard lights to warn others.

“Easy to miss, right? The twist is the change in conditions. The correct answer is B — drop back to a four-second gap.”
“These are the questions that test whether you can apply your knowledge — not just recite it. Because the DVSA wants instructors who understand driving, not just those who can memorise facts.”
