Make driving theory test be compulsory for all learners before driving on road
All learners at the age of 17 must take a theory test before driving on a public road with an approved driving instructor. After the theory test, a learner with a pass certificate with ID is allowed to drive on a public road. People at the age of 15 and 9 months old are allowed to apply for an provisional license, but this will be temporary until the learner has passed the theory test - the provisional license must then be updated by the DVLA/DVSA to allow the learner to drive on a public road with an approved driving instructor.
Why is this important?
All learners these days can have the opportunity to drive on a public road with an approved driving instructor. Young drivers should not be allowed on public roads without knowing the hazards, speed & stopping distances and should be aware of road signals and signs. I am petitioning that the government and the DVLA/DVSA should put theory test at first before driving with an approved driving instructor.
