No Back Seat Drivers Allowed!

Sometimes I am asked by a student if I will be sitting in the back of the car during their driving test. The truth is that much as I would like to, this is not allowed. So during your driving test it will be just you and your driving examiner in the car.

In some countries the rules are different, in the U.K. for example where the candidate can by request have his or her instructor in the car during the driving test. Last year there was even a proposal by the British Government to  make it compulsory to have a driving instructor or other “observer” on the back seat during the test. This proposal has now been dropped although the driving examiner will now be obliged to ask the candidate if they wish to have an accompanying driver with them. You can read more about this in this article from the UK Daily Mail Newspaper.

In Cyprus however, there is no sign of the existing rules changing any time in the near future.
