  1. What is the legal blood alcohol limit for driving in Scotland?

    Answer: 50mg per 100ml of blood

    Scotland has a lower drink-drive limit than England and Wales: 50mg of alcohol per 100ml of blood (compared to 80mg). The breath limit in Scotland is 22 micrograms per 100ml (compared to 35μg).

  2. What vehicle categories can you drive on a standard Category B driving licence?

    Answer: Cars up to 3,500kg MAM with up to 8 passenger seats, plus a trailer up to 750kg

    A Category B licence allows you to drive vehicles up to 3,500kg maximum authorised mass (MAM) with up to 8 passenger seats, plus a trailer up to 750kg. You may also tow heavier trailers with additional restrictions.

  3. What should you do if you receive a fixed penalty notice?

    Answer: Pay the fine and accept the points, or contest it in court within the time limit stated

    You can either accept the fixed penalty (pay the fine and accept any points) or elect to have the matter heard in court. You must respond within the time limit stated on the notice, or face increased penalties.

  4. What is the consequence of not having a valid MOT when your vehicle needs one?

    Answer: Your insurance may be invalidated, you can be fined up to £1,000, and the vehicle may be impounded

    Driving without a valid MOT (when one is required) can result in a fine of up to £1,000. More importantly, your motor insurance may be invalidated, leaving you effectively uninsured as well.

  5. Who is responsible for ensuring a vehicle is properly insured?

    Answer: The registered keeper of the vehicle

    The registered keeper is responsible for ensuring the vehicle is properly insured. Under Continuous Insurance Enforcement (CIE), uninsured vehicles can be detected automatically and the keeper will be contacted.

  6. What eyesight requirement must you meet to drive?

    Answer: Be able to read a standard number plate from 20 metres (with glasses or lenses if needed)

    You must be able to read a standard number plate from 20 metres (approximately 5 car lengths). You can wear glasses or contact lenses. This requirement is tested at the start of the practical driving test.
