Description
This month marks 90 years since the driving test was introduced in 1935 to make UK roads safer, back when there weren’t even speed limits! Presenter Mavis Ackerley looks back at how driving has evolved, from seat belts to sat navs, and explores what the test looks like today. Four Morning Live viewers tackle the hazard perception challenge, while Mavis - having lost some confidence behind the wheel - takes on a mock practical to see how she gets on.
