Would you back yourself to pass your theory test if you had to retake it now?
The answer to this question, for more than half of Britons, is no.
Just 44 per cent of UK licence holders recently surveyed by AA Driving School believe they would pass the theory exam if they had to resit it in 2026.
In contrast, 78 per cent of the 12,475 qualified motorists polled felt confident they would pass the practical portion of the driving test if they had to retake it.
Drivers' lack of confidence in their knowledge of the rules of the road, as outlined in the Highway Code, has been highlighted exactly 30 years to the day that the theory test was introduced in the UK.
