Warning signs

Triangular signs with a red border that tell you what is coming up on the road ahead. These are the warning signs you need to recognise for the DVSA theory test and for safe driving afterwards.

Every warnings sign in this category

Crossroads ahead sign

A warning triangle showing a plus-shaped junction, and one of the signs the theory test uses to check you understand priority in advance.

Roundabout ahead sign

Three curved arrows in a triangle, warning you to prepare well before you actually reach the give way line.

Your theory certificate lasts two years. Most learners who use it quickly do it with an intensive course — a block of hours with a DVSA approved instructor and a practical test at the end, instead of one lesson a week for months.
