Tips for getting a driving licence

  • Book your tests well in advance, this will give you more chance of finding the test times you want.

  • Book your theory test and driving test at the same time, but take them a few weeks apart. This will give you time to take another theory test before the driving test, if you need to.

  • It is important for you and your instructor to plan so that you are ready to take the tests on the dates for which they are booked. By all means carry out training checks as you work through your course!

  • Test times may come up at short notice as cancellations often occur.

  • Take plenty of time and practise properly. This increases your chances of passing at the first attempt and will save you time and money.

Here is a version of the video Booking a test on the Swedish Transport Administration’s YouTube channel, with audio description.

This is what happen if you cheat on the theory test

Before starting the theory test, you must promise that you will take it without using any unauthorised tools or attempting to cheat in any other way.

This is what will happen if you cheat:

  • You will be reported to the police for making a false statement.
  • You will be banned from taking your test for one or two years. Your test will be discontinued and declared null and void. If you have another test booked, that test will be cancelled. You will not be able to book more tests yourself.

Mobile phones must be completely switched off in the test hall!

The following applies during the driving test:

  • Filming and audio recording are not permitted during the driving test.
