I saw this story on the BBC<\/a>. Apparently, learners in Jersey could end up having to pass their theory test before being allowed to take driving lessons on the road.<\/p>\n

\"Jersey\"<\/p>\n

At the moment, the system in Jersey corresponds to the one we have on the UK mainland, but the proposed change would mean that they would have to have a theory test certificate in order to even apply for their provisional driving licence<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

If the plans go ahead, teenagers would be able to sit the theory test up to a year before their 17th<\/sup> birthday, so they would still be able to start learning from their 17th<\/sup>.<\/p>\n

One of the Parish Constables said that people should know their theory before getting behind the wheel of a car.<\/p>\n

I agree – but if someone takes the test when they are 16, it might be a year before they go anywhere near a car, so their knowledge will not be current, nor will it be fresh. Some might sit it when they’re 16, then not take lessons for up to three years.<\/p>\n
