Learning to Drive, Report on Consultation, 21/04/09 [W/E/S]

A programme of measures to reform the driver training and testing process have been published in response to the Learning to Drive consultation conducted in 2008.

The Driving Standards Agency will now:

Roll out a new voluntary pre-driver qualification in safe road use for 14-17-year-olds. Successful completion will provide a partial credit for the theory test, allowing learner car drivers to take an abridged test from October this year.
Introduce case studies into the theory test to better assess whether learners have understood driving or riding theory, also from this October.
Launch a trial of the new Learning to Drive syllabus, which sets out all the aspects of driving that are needed to be a safe driver.

The full report can be downloaded from Driving Standards Agency website.
