The government has just announced that the theory test will soon include questions about CPR. This is because motorists are 'often first on the scene' where CPR is needed.
Following similar logic, the government is planning to use the test questions to further its agenda in other areas too.
A spokesman said, 'Drivers may not be getting enough exercise, so it's reasonable to add questions about the effects of too much sitting down and not enough active travel. If they didn't get properly brainwashed about this at school, then the theory test gives us a second go.
'Drivers in France may be approached by people trying to get into Britain illegally, so that's another area that we can cover.
'And motorists need to understand that their car tax and fuel duty and road tolls are needed to pay the interest on government debt. It's not there to pay for roads or anything like that. And the national curriculum doesn't even start on tax. So we need to cover that too.
'In future the test may also feature questions about the law on freedom of speech, how to give money to political parties legally, and the offside rule.'
