A new element is being introduced to the driving theory exam to test learners on their understanding of driving, rather than just their knowledge of the facts.
From 28 September, the Driving Standards Agency (DSA) is introducing a single case study to the theory tests sat by car drivers and moped and motorcycle riders. Announcing the change, the agency said that the case studies would consist of a short scenario on which five multiple choice questions would be based.
The change is part of a long-term programme of reforms intended to improve the way that people learn to drive and are tested, formulated by the DSA with reference to its recent Learning to Drive consultation.
Jill Lewis, the DSA's director of driver education and learning, explained that the agency planned to introduce a greater case-study element to driving tests over time.
"Case studies are widely used in education to put learning into context and test comprehension of a subject, so many candidates will have encountered this type of question before," she said.
Yesterday the DSA - which is responsible for the regulation of driving instruction in the UK - announced that it had successfully prosecuted a Sheffield woman who had continued to teach learner drivers after having been struck off the Register of Approved Driving Instructors.
At Sheffield Magistrates' Court, Mariam Bibi admitted to one charge of fraud by misrepresentation, and was ordered to pay fines totalling £215.
