uk driving licences were introduced by the motor car act 1903 but no test was required. the intention was purely to identify vehicles and their drivers. the road traffic act 1930 introduced age restrictions and a test for disabled drivers; this was the first formal driving test in the uk. these licences were only valid for one year from the date of issue. legislation for compulsory testing was introduced for all new drivers with the road traffic act 1934. the test was initially voluntary to avoid a rush of candidates until 1 june 1935 when all people who had started to drive on or after 1 april 1934 needed to have passed the test.

a driving test (also known as a driving exam, driver's test, or road test) is a procedure designed to test a person's ability to drive a motor vehicle. it exists in various forms worldwide, and is often a requirement to obtain a driver's license. a driving test generally consists of one or two parts: the practical test, called a road test, used to assess a person's driving ability under normal operating conditions, and/or a written or oral test (theory test) to confirm a person's knowledge of driving and relevant rules and laws.
