Hotel Driving Test

If you want to take your driver's license test in the UK, you may be interested in this: the DSA announced that it will be conducting tests from more locations, such as hotels and local authority buildings. That will give more people access to this important service.

The DSA started a trial, which turned out to be very successful. Therefore, it is extending the service into more areas. Eventually it should cover the entire UK. They also plan to introduce some cooperation with the private sector regarding licenses.

This topic should be interesting to follow.

Bad News for Young Drivers-to-Be

Starting January 2012, the DSA (Britain's DMV) will no longer publish written driving test questions. The practice questions that will be available will not be questions in the test.

This move is done to make people actually learn the rules and not only memorize the answers. DSA officials hope that this way the roads will be safer.

I think that it won't help a single bit. Driving is a practical skill, not theoretical like math. Making roads safer doesn't start at the DSA's written test, it starts at home. If someone's parents are crazy drivers, he or she won't become an example of slowness.

Hopefully the DSA will find better ways to improve road safety in Britain.
