Lord AdonisIt has been announced today that instructors and drivers accompanying learners will not be made to sit in the back of the car during the driving test.

In a victory for common sense, Lord Adonis (Transport Minister) said that the new proposals "have been reversed to avoid unnecessary regulation"

The only relevant change is that the learner will be asked by the examiner at the start of their test whether they want their accompanying driver to sit in during the test.
