The Highway Code rules H2, 8 and 170 state that at a junction, vehicles should give way to pedestrians waiting to cross a road or who are already crossing.

Road safety week, here are a few reminders now the weather is getting colder.

It’s Road Safety Week 2025!

It’s also nearly winter – as the temperature drops, make sure you're ready.

When driving in winter conditions:
❄️clear all snow and ice from all your windows
❄️ ensure that lights are clean and number plates are clearly visible and legible
❄️ make sure the mirrors are clear and the windows are demisted thoroughly
❄️ remove all snow that might fall off into the path of other road users
❄️ check your planned route is clear of delays and that no further snowfalls or severe weather are predicted

Stay safe out there – and check the Highway Code for more Winter driving advice 👇

For all my pupils, please take a moment to read the changes

We’re making some subtle but meaningful changes to the practical driving test. 🚗

You may have seen that we have been trialling changes to the driving test at 20 driving test centres.

As part of the trial, learners drove on routes containing more high-speed, rural roads during their driving test, where location allowed. Now, we are rolling out the changes to all driving test centres in Great Britain from 24 November 2025.

As well as increasing the amount of time spent on higher-speed roads, we are:

✅ reducing the number of stops during the test from 4 to 3
✅ lowering the frequency of emergency stop exercises from 1 in 3 tests to 1 in 7
✅ adding flexibility to the independent driving segment, allowing it to run for the full duration of the test

These changes are designed to help improve road safety by better replicating the conditions motorists face in the real world. They won’t affect the skills needed to take a driving test.
