Driving Standards Agency (DSA)

HGV theory tests can only be booked through the DSA. You can book your LGV theory test in a number of different ways. For those needing to pass all 3 (multi-choice, hazard perception and Module 2). If you don't need Driver CPC then you only need pass 2 (multi-choice and hazard perception.) Theory tests can be booked online or by phone. Booking online is very quick and straightforward, however by phoning the DSA on 0300 200 1122 you can arrange to take all the theory test exams on the same day. It makes sense to try and get them all over and done with in one day rather than going back and forth.
