DSA
to stop publishing questions used in theory tests - Candidates need to understand theory
- End to memorising answers
- Unpublished questions used from 1 January 2012
The Driving
Standards Agency is to stop publishing the multiple choice questions and
answers used in theory tests, Road Safety Minister Mike Penning announced
today. This will
help to ensure that new drivers learn the principles behind driving theory
rather than just learning answers. The move
follows the introduction of independent driving into the driving test and the
DSA's decision to stop publishing test routes in October 2010, to make sure the
test assesses a learner's ability to drive and not their capacity to memorise
routes. |

Independent
driving introduced into tests next Monday Independent
driving will be introduced into the British driving test next Monday (4
October). Candidates in
all main categories of test will be asked to spend around 10 minutes
demonstrating their ability to drive safely without step-by-step directions
from an examiner. Road Safety
Minister Mike Penning said: “The
independent driving assessment gives test candidates the chance to show they
have the necessary skills to cope with the sort of traffic conditions they will
face every day. |

Well, the countdown has well and truly began, for the new driving test that is coming out on monday 4th october 2010. I've lost count of the numerous news reports that i've seen on this subject. Everything from "pupils will not be given any driving instructions" to "pupils are refusing to take the driving test."
Talk about whipping up a storm ina tea cup!! The independent section of driving that everyone is going on about, will last for approx ten minutes that's all! The rest of the driving test in shrewsbury, will be exactly as it's always been. |
