- A three-month trial begins today at 20 driving test centres, including Middlesbrough as the sole participant in the North East.
- The number of required stops during the test is reduced from four to three to allow more driving on higher-speed roads.
- Emergency stops are less frequent, dropping from one in three tests to one in seven, to increase time spent on riskier roads.
- Independent driving time using sat nav is extended from 20 minutes to the full test duration to better reflect real driving.
