Learning to drive?

Changes to the way people learn to drive and how they are tested have been proposed. The changes are being discussed to try and improve the safety of young drivers.

Some of the the changes proposed include:

  • offering a new foundation course on safe road use for under 17 year olds
  • changing the theory test to include questions on safe driving
  • publishing a new training syllabus outlining what all learner drivers need to know
  • introducing a star rating system for instructors.

The consultation runs until 8th Sept, so if you want to make your views known click on the link here.
