I wouldn't be surprised if they did bring it out. I can see that it would be a bummer for those people who are in a hurry to pass. I would sympathise as it took me two years to pass my test.
I finally passed (lucky number 13) on 1st February 5 weeks before my theory certificate ran out!!
Don't be misled, I'm a very good driver (honest) everyone of my examiners said so. But imagine how long it would have taken me if I had to wait a year before I even took my first test!!
I have also heard that there may soon be a point in the test in which you have to be able to explain how to change a tyre and the oil!! Wouldn't that be fun?
I do think that I'm much more confident and aware than if I had maybe passed early on, so it's not necessarily a bad thing in that respect. After all there has to be a reason why newly passed drivers have to pay more insurance - because they are more likely to have an accident.
I thinks perhaps increasing the age restriction would also be a positive step (I hear a mass BOO!! from the under 18's) just my opinion, don't shoot me!!

Yes hun it is, but if you're already learning i don't believe it counts. Although it's calculated as doing 1 lesson a week = 52 hours of driving, i used to do 4 hours a week so it would have been loads less than a year. Unless you've been driving off road and can almost drive before you start, you'll almost definitely need it anyway! Also it would be a very difficult thing to trace as people stop and start and change company's, i had 4 different driving schools and 7 diff instructors before i found the one that was right for me! So i wouldn't worry! x

The requirements before you take your road test vary from state to state and depending on other factors, such as age and class of license. I live in New York State and I know that the rules you mention do not apply here, at least.

It is all hearsay at the moment, nothing official has been said although, it may not be a bad idea, these boy racers cause as many accidents as old people! Mind you, people over a certain age should take the test again.

Not that I've heard, but it could be. It's not a bad idea though. Insurance co.s will give discounts for completing a qualified driver training course.
