Book Theory Test Today presents the case for taking driving theory test<\/a><\/strong> questions to the classroom\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s no secret that Britain\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s youngest motorists account for the highest number of serious injuries and fatalities on the country\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s roads. Every year this trend only seems to get worse, with no apparent solution being put in place, yes there\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s talk of a graduated licencing scheme, but nothing concrete.<\/span><\/p>\n

But, what if topics from the driving theory test hit the classroom?<\/span><\/p>\n

OK, teaching topics from the driving theory test to primary school kids might be a little farfetched, but there\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s no apparent reason why adding topics relating to the driving theory test can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t be added to the National Curriculum at secondary school level.<\/span><\/p>\n

For many children leaving school after their GCSEs, driving could become a big part of their lives. For those staying on and taking \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcA\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 levels, they could be driving while they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re still at school.<\/span><\/p>\n

Why teach topics from the driving theory test in schools?<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

The children are already in a natural learning environment and many will have aspirations to drive as soon as they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re old enough, leaving them open to <\/span>be educated. Topics from the driving theory test will engage them because motoring could potentially become a big part of their lives.<\/span><\/p>\n

Future motorists become educated at an earlier age and will give them a greater appreciation of the driving theory test<\/a><\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Rather than viewing it as \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcanother of life\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s exams\u00e2\u20ac\u2122, an obstacle to be overcome, because they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re exposed to the importance of the test and they understand that it will make them better drivers, they value the reasons why they have to sit a driving theory test.<\/span><\/p>\n

Educating potential young motorists at an earlier age will have a positive impact on their driving ability. It will undoubtedly make them safer and more aware of the responsibilities that come with driving.<\/span><\/p>\n

Yes, children are constantly \u00e2\u20ac\u02dceducated\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 on the dangers of driving with garish videos aimed at scaring them into being good drivers. However, rarely is a secondary school student exposed to the positive side of Britain\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s young drivers. For example, those secondary school aged children who take part in the young driver of the year awards.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tackling topics from the driving theory test in a positive fashion will help to change a young person\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s mindset from thinking – \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcall the teachers and the police do is show us videos of horrible accidents involving young drivers being irresponsible\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 \u00e2\u20ac\u201c to \u00e2\u20ac\u201c \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcwow, I could be like that kid in that video winning a young driver of the year award.\u00e2\u20ac\u2122<\/span><\/p>\n

Is it totally unrealistic to think that bringing topics from the driving theory test into the classroom would have a positive impact? If authorities believe that teaching sex education in secondary schools is beneficial, then discussing driving theory test topics can be too. Just a thought.<\/span><\/p>\n
