Lessons no longer possible

Lessons no longer possible

Hi, everyone I will post any updates from the DVSA as and when I receive them. It is now impossible to know what to say after starting the New Year off with only one day of work and now no work at all! I fully understand something has to be done to stop the spread of covid but can not help wondering would not be in this situation if the fool in charge of the country acted with more haste and urgency at the very beginning he seems only too happy to leave difficult decisions until there is no choice left. 

I hope you can all get through this and avoid catching covid and look forward to seeing you all as soon as possible.

Driving Lessons In Tier 3

Changes to tiers in England

The government has announced changes to the tiers from 12:01am on 31 December to control the spread of coronavirus. 

These will remain in place until at least the next formal government review. 

You can read more about what areas will move tiers and the measures on GOV.UK  

Driving lessons

Driving lessons can continue in Tiers 1 to 3.  

Driving lessons must not take place in Tier 4 areas until the restrictions are lifted. 

You must not travel out of a Tier 4 area to give driving lessons or to take a pupil for a test. 

Driving tests

Driving tests can continue in Tiers 1 to 3.  

Areas in Tier 3

Additional safety measures are in place for car driving tests in Tier 3 areas. These are:

  • reducing the number of car practical tests our examiners carry out per day from 6 to 5
  • anyone who has a car driving test booked in a Tier 3 area who is exempt from wearing a face covering may have to delay their test until the area moves out of Tier 3. We will reschedule their test if we cannot find a volunteer driving examiner to conduct their test without them wearing a face covering

When areas go into Tier 1 or 2, the number of car tests will go back to 6 per day per examiner. We’ll be emailing everyone in a Tier 3 area who has a test booked during the period of the restrictions to let them know about the additional measures.

Areas in Tier 4

All car driving tests are suspended in Tier 4 areas until the restrictions are lifted. This includes ADI part 2 and 3 tests and standards checks.

We’ll email candidates who are affected by this to let them know we will reschedule their test.
