Only 1% of drivers answered these five car theory test questions correctly - how many can you get right?

It's an argument that brews between older drivers and those who have just got their licence: the theory test has become harder over time, meaning those who have been on the road for years might struggle to pass if they had to retake it today. Carwow put five multiple choice questions taken from the official DVSA driving theory test to a panel of 2,000 drivers - and fewer than 1 per cent answered them all correctly. The results of the study showed that only 18 out of 2,000 drivers provided the correct answer to all five questions - a lousy success rate of just 0.9 per cent. Incredibly, the 'pass rate' for each of the five questions was less than half, with one in particular proving very tricky with only 10 per cent of the panel getting it right. The official pass rate for theory tests has gradually fallen over the past 15 years; in 2009, it was 65 per cent whereas this year it sits at just 45 per cent – a record low.
