Put potholes in drive test

LEARNER drivers should have to prove they can spot potholes to pass their test, says a motoring firm.

The AA wants poor road surfaces to be included in the hazard perception test.

It also called for advice on what to do when drivers face potholes to be in the Highway Code.

AA president Edmund King said: “It is a sad indictment of our poor road conditions that instructors are having to adapt their lessons to avoid potholed roads.”
