30th Apr 2020 - COVID-19 Update: Temporary changes to the car and vocational driving test.
From tomorrow, 1st of May 2020, the DVSA are making a temporary change to car and vocational emergency driving tests, to help reduce the spread of Coronavirus (COVID-19).
What will change:
Examiners will end emergency tests early if a candidates commits:
• a serious or dangerous fault
• a total of 16 driver faults
This is to help reduce the amount of time the candidate and the examiner spend in the vehicle, when the candidate has failed their test.
In these circumstances, the examiner will instruct the candidate to drive back to the test centre instead of continuing for the full time, before they tell the candidate they have failed.
Motorcycle module 2 tests will not be affected by this change.
29th April 2020 - COVID-19 Update: Changes to the emergency theory and practical driving test application process.
From Friday 24th April, the DVSA launched a new service to help make it quicker and easier for key workers to apply for emergency theory tests and emergency practical tests.
Key workers will no longer need to email a request for an emergency test. Instead, key workers will need to submit an application on GOV.UK website.
Applicants will be asked to supply their ID at the start of the application, so the DVSA have all the information they need to confirm eligibility for an emergency test.
The DVSA will email those who meet the criteria with a new test date and time at their nearest available test centre. This will be based on the information provided when submitting an application.
