Parliament decided that anyone driving a car had to prove they could do it safely and the first compulsory driving test was introduced in Britain on this day, June 1, 1935. The 1930s driving test included an emergency stop, hill start, three-point turn, vehicle and hand signaling and parking. The driving test lasted around 30 minutes and the pass rate was 63%. Captain Stuart (the examiner) stressed that the main requirement in the test was safety. “How the driver treats his car does not matter so much. Crashing the gears will not influence the tester, so long as it does not affect safety.”
1935年6月1日,为确保每一位司机能够安全驾驶车辆上路,英国议会首次提出强制性的驾驶考试。二十世纪三十年代的驾驶考试包括紧急停车、爬坡起步、三点转弯、车辆及手势信号和泊车。驾驶考试时长大约为30分钟,通过率为63% 。斯图尔特上尉(考官)强调,这次考试的主要要求是安全。“司机如何对待他的车并不重要。只要不影响安全,换挡冲击不会影响测试。”
