"Look, Observe, Respond" (MSM) is what they want road users to learn: but they can (SHOULD) be taking an imaginative "what if" approach, which they can first measure from a desk.
It's just what government had to do during Covid. DVSA can learn from NHS, which the CEO of RDAC recently told me could help. We remember the four young people drowned in their overturned car. Now more death. But laws won't stop people behaving illegally (there were legal speed limits, after all). Or "going with the [social] flow".
Don’t worry about sitting your driving test if you have special needs. For example, a common issue is where a candidate has dyslexia. In these circumstances, say so when you book your test. The examiner will then make adjustments in how they conduct the test so you have an equal chance of success with everyone else.  When reading a number plate (to test your eyesight before you start to drive) you will be allowed to get the letters/numbers in the wrong order, to write them down, or even to use a chart where you point to the relevant figures.
It's a good idea to have a chat/email with the TCM (test centre manager) a week or so before the test. You can also ask for satnav to be used for the independent driving part of the test, rather than traffic signs, but that also has to be requested when you book the test. |
