Below is the driving theory test questions database that was used prior to 2018. There are a lot more questions here than in the latest iteration of the database . Some questions in this database even have more than one correct answer. The DVSA have since rephrased and removed many questions, and have also simplified things by removing those questions with more than one correct answer.
