Today's driving test is the hardest driving test anybody taking driving lessons in the UK has ever had to take. The days of learning to drive in 10 hours are long gone. When I passed my driving test it was 25 minutes long. In my local area there were no dual carriageways, or by-passes. There were half the number of roundabouts and as for traffic levels, well; two car families were still in the minority. The Test comprised of a basic test of competence and only 2 out of three manoeuvres. However the test was much more difficult than the one my father passed in 1962, and so it goes on.

Please remember that this is only my opinion; however it is one gained from experience, having listened to a great number (hundreds) of debriefs at the end of the driving test, as well as sitting in the back during dozens of tests over the years. So what do I mean by grey areas and how can you avoid them? Grey areas will be situations where different people could view the learner's actions differently, such as one person/examiner feeling that a learner is traveling slightly too close to parked cars and another simply too close. It is down to the examiner's own perception of the situation and, as in most situations this can be slightly different from person to person.

In more unusual cases the road layout may be a bit confusing. One of the roads in my local area fits this description. As you look down the road it appears to head toward a set of traffic lights, but on closer inspection, there is a give way line some sixty metres before the lights as the through road curves in from the right and up to the lights. You are in fact in the side-street and need to yield. Although I deliberately take all of my pupils to this junction for the experience, a couple of them have still been caught out due to bad weather conditions or lack of concentration.

I'm please to report that on my latest trip to France, I could say a lot more than "The Sky is Blue". And no, I didn't drive on the left hand side of the road and didn't have a collision!
