I am very envious... I am trying to learn to drive in the UK... I've failed my test 3 times so far.... and every year or so the test is made more difficult. Our test is in two parts... the theory test is computerised and covers the Highway Code... rules of the road, road markings signs etc also hazard awareness and recently vehicle maintainance. The part I have failed is the practical test...is 40 minutes of, in my experience absolute toture, driving in all sorts of traffic conditions on fast roads and side roads and demonstrating several manoeuvres. How every difficult it is I think it is necessary... you can't be tto safe a driver... wish me luck I'm nearly there ... I hope.
