NEW CHANGES TO THE DRIVING TEST…

Taken from the DVSA website.

We’’re making some subtle but meaningful changes to the practical driving test.

You may have seen that we have been trialling changes to the driving test at 20 driving test centres.

As part of the trial, learners drove on routes containing more high-speed, rural roads during their driving test, where location allowed. Now, we are rolling out the changes to all driving test centres in Great Britain from 24 November 2025.

As well as increasing the amount of time spent on higher-speed roads, we are:
✅ reducing the number of stops during the test from 4 to 3
✅ lowering the frequency of emergency stop exercises from 1 in 3 tests to 1 in 7
✅ adding flexibility to the independent driving segment, allowing it to run for the full duration of the test

These changes are designed to help improve road safety by better replicating the conditions motorists face in the real world. They won’t affect the skills needed to take a driving test.

Congratulations to Hannah who passed her driving test this week on her first attempt with just one driving fault. She said “Craig was very helpful, patient and supportive whilst I was learning to drive. He really helped me because he talks through everything step by step and made sure I was comfortable the whole time. Thank you Craig!” You’re welcome Hannah, you deserved the result you got with the effort you put into it. All the best on the road 👍

As you may have noticed from Ciaran’s testimonial, we’ve upgraded our manual teaching car! We’ve had it a couple of weeks now and pleased to report our students are liking it and finding the transition from the last car to this one really smooth. Enjoy!
