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- Unpublished questions used from 1 January 2012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. |
