On all practical driving tests taken from 10 September 2008, an assessment will be made of a candidate’s ability to drive in a way that demonstrates recognition of the principles of ‘Eco safe driving’. Eco-safe driving is a recognised and proven style of driving that contributes to road safety whilst reducing fuel consumption and emissions.
Candidates who complete a driving test in any of the licence categories will receive feedback on their eco-safe driving skills as part of the debrief at the end of the test. They will also receive a fold out leaflet containing more detailed information to help them to drive in an economic and ecologically friendly manner.
From 1st July 2008, additional Safety Check (or ‘Show Me, Tell Me’) questions will be asked at the start of all learner and ADI Part 2 practical driving tests. The new questions cover the following: Use of wipers, Demisters, Brake lights, Fog lights, Head restraints, Anti-lock braking system (ABS), Warning lights and the correct operation of relevant controls and switches.
