Neil Sargeant, Motor Law specialist at Duncan Lewis, talks in Asian Voice about the impending changes to driving tests, which will come into place from 4th December 2017. Neil points out that these changes are designed to incorporate modern driving techniques, including the use of a sat-nav during the test, as oppose to relying on the examiner’s directions. Neil observes: ‘It was often said that lessons taught you to pass your test but you learn to drive afterwards, meaning each driver develops their own driving habits once they pass. Using satellite navigation during the test makes sense as most new drivers will use them. They will get used to that “distraction” during their lessons, which will ensure greater road safety.’
