🌧️ ST. Swithun's Day. Whatever the weather today — and however the next 40 days turn out — it's a good moment to check your windscreen wipers are actually up to the job. Driving in heavy rain with worn blades is no fun for anyone. #AdverseWeather #RoadSafety

Today marks 30 years of the theory test. 🎉 On 1 July 1996, a separate written theory test was introduced, replacing Highway Code questions that had been asked during the driving test. 📝 3 decades on, it remains a vital part of the driver testing and training regime. ✅
