Driving Standards Agency says blocking pre-published study material mean drivers will gain better understanding of the road
The driving theory test will pose more of a challenge from Monday, because of changes designed to prevent candidates learning answers by heart. The change will mean that learner drivers will not be able to study and memorise answers from pre-published official study material.
The Driving Standards Agency said that the changes would mean that learner drivers and riders gain a better understanding of driving theory, because they can no longer rely on simply learning which options are correct for individual questions. Road safety minister Mike Penning said: "By bringing a stop to publication of theory test questions we aim to encourage candidates to prepare by learn each topic area thoroughly rather than just memorising the questions and answers."
