News: Trial to test use of satnav as part of driving test

A 17-year old in East Dunbartonshire has become the first driver to pass a UK driving test using a satnav.

The Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) are trialling a revised driving test at in advance of a nationwide rollout. As part of the changes, a driving examiner will set up a route using the satnav which must be followed during the test.

Bishopbriggs Driving Test Centre is one of 20 test centres chosen to trial the revised test.

The use of a satnav is just one of a number of changes proposed to bring the driving test into line with current requirements. Amongst the changes, the three point turn and reversing around a corner will be dropped in favour of manoeuvres such as reversing out of a parking bay and pulling up by the side of the road and then rejoining traffic.

The new test standards are expected to be implemented nationwide in 2016
