Changes to the driving test in January 2022
The Highway Code was updated on January 29, 2022 with new rules to improve road safety for pedestrians, cyclists, and horse riders who are more vulnerable. The most significant changes include introducing a hierarchy of road users where those posing greater risk have more responsibility, clarifying that traffic should give way to pedestrians crossing at junctions, providing guidance for cyclists to ride prominently for visibility, and recommending the "Dutch Reach" technique for drivers to avoid injuring cyclists and pedestrians when opening vehicle doors. While non-compliance does not result in fines, the updates aim to enhance awareness and consideration for vulnerable road users across England, Scotland, and Wales.

The Importance of Being Fully Prepared
Passing your driving test is a significant milestone, granting you independence and freedom on the roads.

2. No Serious Mistakes: You consistently demonstrate safe driving practices and do not make dangerous or severe errors that could compromise your safety or that of others on the road.
3. Passing Mock Test: You can successfully complete mock driving tests that simulate the actual examination conditions, demonstrating your ability to handle various scenarios and maneuvers.
4. Managing Test Nerves: You have developed effective strategies to manage your nerves and maintain focus during the test, ensuring that anxiety does not impair your performance.
5. Instructor's Test Approval: Your driving instructor, with their professional experience, agrees that you have reached the required level of competence and are ready to take the official driving test.

Driving Test Changes from 4th of December 2017
From the 4th of December 2017 there will be several changes to the driving test in the UK. These changes include an increase from 10 to 20 minutes of free or independent driving and the use of a sat nav whilst driving.
Additionally the show me tell me questions you would normally be asked at the beginning of your test will now be asked whilst you are driving.
These two changes are believed to pose a more realistic example of the distractions you will experience during normal driving conditions.
However reversing around a corner will now be scrapped. (finally they've realised how dangerous it is!)
