80 Years of the Driving Test

From DVSA

======================================================================================
The compulsory driving test was introduced on 1 June 1935. Since then, it’s helped save thousands of lives.

To mark this milestone, we’ve put together:

an illustrated history of a driving test
a new video about how today’s driving test works
a list of the top 10 reasons people fail the driving test – and how to avoid them
stories about what passing the driving test meant to people

A limited edition of The Highway Code also goes on sale today. Celebrating 80 years of the driving test, it contains all the latest rules of the road, updated with recent legislative changes.
