New driving test changes in Britain require candidates to spend longer on faster roads during tests. The Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) is introducing measures to better reflect real-world driving conditions motorists encounter after passing, with particular emphasis on rural roads.

Data show nearly half (48%) of fatal or serious-injury crashes involving drivers aged 17–24 between 2019 and 2023 occurred on rural roads, compared with 42% for older drivers. Roads minister Simon Lightwood said focusing tests on higher-speed roads targets major risks and can help reduce collisions and save lives.
