The new enhancements to the the practical Driving Test

From 6th April 2010, all candidates will be asked by their Examiner if they would like their Driving Instructor or Accompanying Driver to sit in the back of the car during the test and be present for the after test result and debrief.  If the candidate declines, they will be asked if they would like their Driving Instructor or accompanying Driver to be present at the end of the test to hear the debrief only.

From 4th October 2010 all Car Driving Tests will include two elements of 'Independent Driving' which will require candidates to follow various road signs, i.e. town name, road number, or point of interest (railway station, library, etc)

Currently the cost of the Theory Test is £31 and Practical Test to £62.50 Monday to Friday. Weekend tests are available but at a higher price.

L-drivers will face a Green Challenge

Their knowledge of ‘green issues’ to pass their driving test under rules to encourage environment-friendly motoring.

In the theory test, they will need to show they understand how motoring affects the environment, answering questions on the best speeds for driving and braking.

Questions could also cover route planning to cut down on fuel consumption.

In the practical test, learners could fail if they ‘excessively use the accelerator’ when starting the engine, use lower gears ‘unnecessarily’ and ‘consistently fail to use engine braking’.

Driving instructors are also being tutored in the ‘principles of Eco-driving’, based on reducing fuel consumption and the output of carbon dioxide.

The Driving Standards Agency said: ‘This should lead to a group of drivers who from day one drive in an environmentally-friendly way.’

The changes are part of a major shake-up of the driving test by the DSA

Learners will also have to show knowledge of first-aid, new motorway signs and the importance of cars being licensed and insured.
