I have to question the wisdom of a written test as being an accurate indication of driving skill. It may be a great way to show that someone understands the laws of the road or the correct way way in which they should drive, or it may just show how good they are at reading and remembering what is written in a book. Just because they've read about what they should be doing it is no guarantee that they drive that way.
Most of the time it isn't the knowledge of the drivers manual that worries me but the complete lack of common sense and attention to the task at hand. The only way to show how well someone really drives is to sit in a car with them or watch them actually drive a car.
