BIG Update DVSA Driving Test Changes 2022

Big changes from DVSA starting 1st March.
Check it out for more info.

We are lifting COVID-19 restrictions affecting driving and theory tests in England from Tuesday 1 March in line with the government announcement that English restrictions ended on 24 February.
The changes in England are:
• face coverings will be a personal choice for practical and theory test candidates and examiners
• driving tests will no longer end early unless the candidate’s driving is so poor it is a risk to their safety and that of other road users - in line with the pre-COVID-19 policy
• instructors and accompanying drivers are able to sit in on driving tests
• you no longer have to self isolate if you have COVID-19, but we encourage you to rearrange your test if you feel unwell for any reason
You need to make your pupils aware of these forthcoming changes, especially if you have made their practical test booking for them.
The current driving and theory tests safety measures in Scotland and Wales remain in place and we will let you know of any changes.
DVSA guidance on GOV.UK will be updated shortly.

Pupils testing positive for COVID-19
We encourage candidates testing positive for COVID-19 up to 5 days before their driving test not to attend their test to reduce the spread of the virus.
You or your pupil will need to include the following information in the email:
• their driving licence number
• their driving test booking reference number

I’m so relieved they’ve gone back to normal. I have my test in just over a month and will feel less nervous with my instructor in the back 👍

Really positive news as a new PDI hopefully I can get to sit in on a few tests
Only downside is I will be stuck in the back of my 3 door Polo
For those of you are watching this make sure you show some appreciation and like and subscribe 😉

Josh news very informative, not so sure about scraping face masks, as a driving instructor if you catch covid no sick pay, you will be stuffed, think it’s just a small thing to do, but all the other news is fantastic way better
