Wouldn’t it be great if people’s attitudes could be assessed before they were given a drivers’ license? See whether or not they’ve got what it takes to concentrate, communicate, be patient, be courteous and be able to make quick decisions?

Well, in Scotland there is a test for these skills.

According to BBC News, The Driving Instructors Association in Scotland has developed an online questionnaire designed to uncover driver’s attitudes toward driving.

Eddie Barnaville, chief executive of the DIA said that while new drivers are currently tested on their driving skills, “the way drivers think is the most vital part of safe driving,” adding that “Many young drivers have a poor attitude to safe and responsible driving,” Barnaville says. “Many see themselves as risk takers, happy to break the speed limit or jump a red light.”
