UK driving age 'rising to 18' E-mail

A revamp of the UK driving test will begin soon after Easter in an attempt to reduce the number of deaths and injuries among young and novice drivers. It is reported that the driving age will effectively rise to 18 as the test system becomes more difficult and pre-test training more complicated.

Learners will still be granted their provisional licence from the age of 17, but will need a year to pass the beefed-up test. The Government is due to launch a consultation on the proposals put forward by the Driving Standards Agency imminently.
