Take your driving instructor on test
October 12, 2009 by richard
One change to the driving test which was due to be introduced in 2010 was that the accompanying driver - probably your instructor - would have to sit in the back of the car.
At the moment, I sit in on many tests, because the candidate has asked me to. But some people don't want me there, and it's right that they should be able to choose.
In a victory for common sense, Lord Adonis (Transport Minister) said that the new proposals "have been reversed to avoid unnecessary regulation"
The only relevant change is that the learner will be asked by the examiner at the start of their test whether they want their accompanying driver to sit in during the test.
