DSA Plans to Stop Publishing Questions Used in Theory Tests Next Year
From 1 January 2012, DSA will create theory tests using questions which will not be published. DSA's aim is to help ensure that test candidates understand the driving theory, not merely memorise answers to questions.
Practice questions and answers, not used in theory tests, will still be available to help candidates with revision.
Cancellation of identity cards: changes to ID requirements
The UK government has passed legislation cancelling identity cards for British citizens. From 21 January 2011, those identity cards that have already been issued will no longer be legal forms of identification.
This means that learner car drivers will no longer be able to use the identity card as a valid document to prove their identity for a practical driving test.
Learners who do not have a photo card licence and counterpart to prove their identity but have an old-style paper one, must bring this and a valid passport.

Independent driving will become part of the practical driving test in Great Britain in October 2010. It involves the candidate being asked to drive for about 10 minutes, either following traffic signs, following a series of verbal directions, or a combination of both.
The DSA has published a short video on its YouTube channel explaining more about independent driving.
