This comes from the UK:

Test

A United Kingdom government survey of adult users,  suggests that people who use the Internet should take a test on how to use it safely.

According to the survey, which questioned over 2000 people, 53% of those surveyed thought that there should  be a “Internet Safety Test”, similar to a driving test. The suggested test would be taken by online users to ensure awareness of the risks and of their personal responsibility to stay safe online. 

Of concern:1 in 10 of internet users in the UK are affected by online fraud yearly.  78% of those surveyed think there should be lessons in schools to help young people understand those risks and how to stay safer online.

Hmmmm.
