Re-Failing the Practical Test

Last week I had here an article about the GMAC written test pass rate, and today it's another survey, this time about the pass rate of the practical test for experienced drivers.

The survey found that nearly 50% of people will have difficulties if they had to take their test now. Why? Because they don't remember key points and important maneuvers, because they forgot them.

Perhaps it leads to another conclusion: the driving test is not really how people drive. Where I live, there is a huge difference between what's required to pass and reality. Nearly nobody drives like required in driving tests.

Will the system change? Never. Should it change? Definitely.
