Driving test examiners will now wear body cameras for tests following a spate of frightening attacks from angry learners.
New rules introduced by the Driving Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) from today will see the cameras become an "essential" part of their uniform, with abusive candidates told any abuse could result in them being barred from test centres or even prosecution.
The DVSA says examiners will only switch on the bodycams if they "feel threatened" by learners or wish to capture "inappropriate behaviour".
