Changes have been introduced by the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) to the UK's practical driving tests to provide learner drivers with more experience on rural roads.
Starting on 6 May, the DVSA is implementing changes for a three-month trial period at centres across the UK, following government published statistics that revealed nearly half (48%) of young driver casualties occur on rural roads. This is in comparison to all other aged drivers collisions on rural roads, which is 42%.
