There is a new part of the practical test due to start in August called Independent Driving.
The idea is that the examiner will give the pupil some directions or tell them to follow signs towards a destination. In this time, the pupil will drive for about 10 minutes without instruction from the examiner. The pupil will be able to ask questions to confirm the direction they are able to go.
It is estimated that this new initiative MAY have a detrimental effect on the pass rate. This can be OVERCOME through sufficient practice before the test.
More information will be forthcoming in the next few months. In the mean time, I will proceed to assist all my pupils to be able to complete this new task.

That is a great idea, not only will they have to find out themselves on how to get there, they would have to think on their own, and probably at the end they would be better drivers having experienced firsthand driving alone without a teacher to tell them stuff.
