Drivers favour motorway tests

Friday, 10 October 2014

More than half of drivers support the introduction of mandatory motorway driving tests.
A survey for car leasing company Flexed.co.uk found that 52% of motorists believed that all drivers should have to pass a motorway driving assessment before being allowed on them.
Meanwhile, 70% of drivers between 17 and 24 wanted the introduction of a motorway driving test for all drivers.
Forty-one per cent of male motorists surveyed wanted the introduction of a motorway-driving test for all drivers compared with 64% of women motorists.
Alex Wignall, customer care at Flexed.co.uk said: “I think there has been a consensus amongst motorists for a long time that drivers should have to pass a test to drive on the motorway.
“There are too many drivers of all ages who are inexperienced on motorways and are not familiar with the important differences which separate it from other types of driving.”
