The driving theory test will be extended from next month as part of the government's efforts to improve driving standards.
MPs will get their first chance to comment on road pricing as plans that would allow local pilot schemes are published by the Department for Transport (DfT).
The shadow transport Chris Grayling argues the government is out of touch over the "pie in the sky" national road pricing scheme. He argues the 1.8 million people who signed an anti-road pricing petition were right to oppose an unrealistic scheme that should not be forced on local authorities.
The Liberal Democrats want to charge drivers to use motorways as part of a commitment to making Britain carbon neutral by 2050.
Over 60s with a bus pass can now travel across the country for free after the government broke down barriers between councils and different bus operators.
The Liberal Democrat transport spokesman Alistair Carmichael calls on drivers to ignore the "myths" surrounding road pricing. The facts include rising congestion and a rising threat to the economy and environment and maintain the status quo is no longer feasible.
Adam Price, Plaid Cymru parliamentary transport spokesperson, explains why Plaid support road pricing in principle, pointing to the success of congestion charging and small-scale road pricing schemes. But he questions whether a UK-wide scheme would meet Wales' unique transport needs.
Britain's road network will be opened up to investment from the private sector, David Cameron will announce later.
Speed cameras cannot replace road traffic police in promoting safety and more officers must be put back on patrol, MPs have warned today.
MPs have today called for a complete overhaul of the way parking is managed in England and Wales, branding the current system a "mess".
