I'm not convinced that the driving test is where we should be focussing, for two reasons. Firstly, people tend to drop habits learnt in order to pass the test, shortly after taking it. Secondly, it doesn't address all the morons already on the road.
For these reasons, I think a better approach would be an ongoing programme of driver awareness, preferably backed up with a more hard-line approach to banning drivers who come into conflict with cyclists, unless they can prove that the fault lay wholly with the cyclist.
