This question was answered on 22nd February 2019
There are no plans to introduce a compulsory drink awareness course as part of a driving test.
The syllabus for learning to drive a car and light van already includes a section on assessing whether a driver’s ability to drive safely and responsibly is affected by any alcohol they have consumed.
In addition, the car driving theory test contains 50 multiple choice questions. Each test features at least one question on drinking and driving.
