  • The UK Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency will include CPR and defibrillator knowledge in the driving theory test.

  • Learning materials now teach essential life-saving techniques, including the correct method for chest compressions.

  • Research shows that prompt CPR and defibrillator use can raise survival chances to as high as 70%.
  • We're delighted to be working with the DVSA and other partners to introduce CPR and defibrillator awareness into the driving theory test.
    — James Cant, chief executive of Resuscitation Council UK, expressed his enthusiasm about the introduction of CPR in the driving test.

  • 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.
