Linked to Andy's thread perhaps ist article which appear in the Telegraph Motoring section today.
It seem that the "morality/attitude" bit of the Theory Test has been hi-jacked!
It seem the learners are being asked questions on GREEN driving... und are asked questions about winding up windows, braking engine by using gears, emptying boot und car completely to save planet (which ist at odds with "drive with at least three passengers"
who may be 19 stone .. und the taxi driver had to turf her out as he could not get cab over the speed hump
- und the good result was .. she went on diet und ist now a svelte 12 stone or so und the council ripped out the speed hump
)
Anyway....as "Telegraph" drily point out .. ist no mention of walk or cycle ahead und have briefcase follow in either one of the 4 Jags (4 Chins und as many Jags .. und the "photoshot walk to Tube Station (or in his case Large Tub of Lard station
) in June 1997 und Dave - "Dayvvee" !)who pedals the fastest bicycle in the West (chorus go "ooooh - ohhh")) ( ahead of his briefcase in a Prius.
Final paragraph remarks that the core of good driving seem to revolve around eco-driving rather than safe driving, personal comfort und mobility und common sense.
They suggested this as possibel question

c) Cycle to shop und have wife follow in car to carry home the shopping.
d) Microwave something which you already have in freezer.
Und none of it actually
