Proposed Driver Licence Changes: Government May Remove Second Practical Test, Cut Back on Eye Exams
Honestly, this sounds like a recipe for disaster. The driving standards out there are already sketchy enough without lowering the bar even more.

I don’t think it’s too much to ask for people to be on time. I bet they ask people to be there 5 or 10 mins before their scheduled time too (so she was actually 10-15 mins late).
If they start the test late then the next person is late and it flows on like a doctor’s office. Given the big wait times it seems reasonable for them to require you are on time.
I for sure think lessons should be required. The tricky bit is the cost. The answer should be that driving is a privilege not a right, but to be able to say that earnestly we need a true alternative which most of the country doesn’t have.
Oh I agree being on time is good. But it shouldn’t count as a “fail”, just needs to be rescheduled if they’re too late. The test is for assessing driving competency, not time management. Unless I’m reading it too literally and that particular comment in the article was hyperbole.
Ah I see what you’re getting at.
I “failed” my first test, because I showed up and my car didn’t have a warrant (it was warrantable, just had missed a reminder).
Is it semantics, though? I guess when they say X number of people failed their test then you need to take that into account. But I don’t think there is any impact on the person, there’s no penalty for a fail other than the cost - and that’s now gone with free resits.
