It is obscene that the DVSA, which is the UK organ that officially setups up the theory driving tests, does not make all of its material open.
As such, it uses its monopoly on the test as an advantage to sell books and services that allow you to pass the tests.
Particularly obscene is their focus on an online service: www.safedrivingforlife.info/shop/official-dvsa-theory-test-kit-car-drivers-elearning (archive) a that you can only use for 30 days and costs 15 pounds as of 2024. This way you can't even buy the book used or go to a library.
Obscene.
Paying to take the test is fine. But paying for learning materials which help everyone become better drivers and saves lives? Obscene.
