Open petition: Review UK driving theory test and its impact on dangerous driving

Created by Emily Rushton
Closes on

Review the driving theory test to improve its impact on reducing dangerous driving. This review should consider whether including video clips, impact statements & examination questions highlighting the devastating consequences & criminal charges of dangerous driving could contribute positively.

As a survivor of a catastrophic road traffic collision caused by dangerous driving, I am concerned that the current driving theory test fails to prepare drivers for the long-term, life-altering consequences of reckless driving. We therefore call for a review of the current test, which should include considering whether integrating short, powerful impact statements from survivors and families may positively contribute to safer driving.
