Frequently asked questions
How long is the highway code valid?
The ETG is valid for 5 years from the date of passing, to sit the practical driving test for the B license. For motorcycle licenses it is also valid for 5 years.
Can I prepare for the highway code entirely online?
Yes, many driving schools offer fully online highway code courses. However, registration at an approved driving school remains mandatory to sit the official ETG exam.
Is the highway code the same for motorcycles and cars?
Yes, the General Theory Test (ETG) is common to all ground licenses (B, A2, A, AM...). If you have already passed the ETG for a car license, you do not need to retake it for a motorcycle license.
How many questions can I get wrong in the ETG?
The ETG has 40 questions and the pass mark is 35. You can therefore get at most 5 wrong. Note that some questions may be eliminatory (serious fault) depending on the case.
