. 1.9. , . . heretordtimescom Thursday, January 7 2016 THE HEREFORD TIMES 129 PROPOSALS to change the driving test will unfairly penalise learners who are ‘nervous in test situations’, according to a survey of young drivers. The idea of requesting a deposit, which is returned to drivers only if they pass, is designed to stop nov— ices from putting in for their test before they are really ready. But 69% of drivers aged 17-25 think this would put extra pressure on those people who are more stressed about the test anyway. The survey of 450 young drivers by specialist insurer Marmalade re- vealed a split over the deposits idea, with 49% liking it and 40% being totally against it.
