Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, who carried out the risk assessment on the new driving test; and what the findings of that assessment were.
This question was answered on 7th December 2017
DVSA carried out a risk assessment of the new test in July 2017, and conducted further evaluations in September 2017. The report concluded that all elements of the driving test were low risk.
DVSA also commissioned an independent report from Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents to assess the risk of the changes to the test. This echoed the findings of the DVSA assessment that all aspects of the new elements of the driving test were low risk.
