Transforming the Practical Driving Test in Great Britain: Trialing Changes to Simulate On-road Experience and Promote Safer Driving Posttest
One of the principles on which most driver testing regimes are based is that drivers who attain a level of competence sufficient to pass the test are given access to unsupervised driving. Demonstrating a relationship between driver testing and safety outcomes is therefore of interest to driver licensing authorities. Against such a criterion, a good test will deliver safer drivers into the licensed driving population.
