The Driving Test was first started in Britain on 1st June 1935, due to the number of casualties on the UK roads. Examiners were recruited mainly from the services and Police. The Driving Test was suspended during the war (1939-46). The motor vehicle boom of the mid-fifties resulted in more new examiners recruited to fill the many vacancies.
