End to foreign language driving tests

End to foreign language driving tests
Driving test candidates will no longer be able to use foreign language voiceovers and interpreters on their test from 7 April 2014.

The move, announced today (10 October 2013) by the new Road Safety Minister Robert Goodwill, follows a public consultation.

Currently people can:

    take their car and motorcycle theory tests with a voiceover in 1 of 19 foreign languages
    use interpreters on theory tests and practical tests

This will stop from 7 April 2014.

Why would they want to take their test here in the first place, why not take it in the country they have come from or it that because there aren't driving tests the world over?  I know that in Canada Children are allowed to drive from 14 because they have long distances to travel to school.
