August 2008 update

Learning to Drive ( correction to miss understood news reports)

Media and New Reports seem to be mis leading people into thinking the age of leraning to drive as changed.
This up date is to let you know that even though little changes have been made to driving tests there is no change to age or the way that lessons are to be taken.
September 10th 2008 will see the start of Eco Testing, this will mean that all test candidates from learners to advance driving will have to demonstrate that they can use all controls smoothly with good use of gas pedal so not to over rev and accurate gear changes so not to waste fuel. They will also have to demonstrate good anticipation and hazard perception skills so not to brake to heavy and to use engine braking has an alternative so to prevent wear on all vehicle parts. These changes are in addition to already extended maintenance questions,but even though being introduced on 10th September will not be marked as a pass or fail till April 2009.
