The Driving Standards...

The Driving Standards Agency (DSA) gave L-tutors until the end of the year to pass its hazard perception test. But with only a few days left, it says 1,255 still haven"t done the exam.

Learner drivers have been sitting the computer-based assessment for more than four years, and can"t qualify without it. The DSA has warned that instructors have to pass the exam too, and licences would be removed if they haven"t. Tutors could even face prosecution if they continue to teach. The test uses video clips to assess awareness of road hazards, and the pass mark is a score of 57 out of a possible 75.
