Background

Review the driving theory test to improve its impact on reducing dangerous driving. This review should consider whether including video clips, impact statements & examination questions highlighting the devastating consequences & criminal charges of dangerous driving could contribute positively.

Additional details

As a survivor of a catastrophic road traffic collision caused by dangerous driving, I am concerned that the current driving theory test fails to prepare drivers for the long-term, life-altering consequences of reckless driving. We therefore call for a review of the current test, which should include considering whether integrating short, powerful impact statements from survivors and families may positively contribute to safer driving.
