This is an extremely difficult and worrying time for us all and taking into account the government public health advice, the DVSA (Driving and Vehicle Standards Agency) is suspending driving tests for up to three months from 21st March as there is extended contact between candidates and examiner in vehicles. I am closely following guidance provided by the DVSA and will commence lessons when it is safe to do so for both pupils and instructors alike.

Service Update

From 1st April 2014 the DVSA will introduce a more flexible approach to the way it handles tests cancelled by candidates at short notice. At the moment, candidates automatically lose their fee if they cancel or change their test without giving DVSA 3 clear working days’ notice.

Cancellations

The fee for theory tests will fall to £25.00 for tests taken from 1st October 2014. You will have to pay the old fee if you choose a test date before that date which is currently £31.00.

Costs Fall

From 23 January 2012 the theory test will be made up of multiple-choice questions which are no longer published in learning materials. The reason behind the move is to stop candidates from simply memorising theory test questions and answers and learning by rote.
