About the D1 Minibus Theory Test Practice

~7 min read · Updated April 2026

Our D1 Minibus practice covers the kinds of topics candidates revise before sitting the DVSA D1 theory test — passenger safety, stopping distances, road signs, vehicle checks, legal responsibilities and safe driving.

Questions are independent practice-style only. Always check the current Highway Code and DVSA guidance on GOV.UK before booking the real test.

01

What revision typically covers

Passenger safety and supervision, vehicle daily walkaround checks, drivers' hours and tachograph basics where relevant, stopping distances when loaded, Highway Code for larger vehicles, accessibility and PSVAR awareness.

02

How candidates usually study

Combine the DVSA Highway Code with the official LGV/PCV theory learning materials and timed mock papers. Sit the theory test (multiple choice plus hazard perception) at a DVSA centre before progressing to the practical.
