<p>The car practical driving test is continually reviewed, and Management Information
data is collated and analysed to assess the effectiveness and safety of all elements
of the test, including the new satellite navigation element.</p><p> </p><p>The DVSA
has established strict processes and procedures in place to record all incidents and
analyse contributing factors and, if required, take remedial action. The car practical
test risk assessment, which covers the satellite navigation element, is reviewed as
part of every incident investigation.</p><p> </p><p>The DVSA is also seeking to understand
how the new driving test has shaped candidates’ experiences of learning to drive and
their feelings towards driving and driver safety. An questionnaire was produced in
January and February, which asked questions about the time spent practising for the
driving test, and candidates’ experience of the new driving test and their views on
driving. Responses to the questionnaire are currently being analysed.</p>
