Rules for your pupils using their own car for their driving test
Your pupils can take their driving test in their own car if it meets certain rules.

If it doesn’t, their test will be cancelled and they will need to pay for another slot.

The rules they need to follow
Their car must:

be taxed
be insured for a driving test
be roadworthy
have a current MOT
have no warning lights showing
have no tyre damage and meet the legal tread depth
have an extra interior rear-view mirror for the examiner
be able to reach at least 62mph and have an mph speedometer
be fitted with L-plates on the front and rear
Most people arrive in a car that meets the rules, but this isn’t always the case. We have seen an increase in people attending their tests in vehicles that aren’t roadworthy.

Please remind your pupils to check their car meets all these requirements before test day.

Average speed cameras are now the norm

HADECS radar cameras cover all smart motorways and track every lane at once, matched to the live limit on the gantry above

Most units flash invisibly, so you may not know you've been caught

SPECS average-speed systems measure your whole journey, so slowing down just for the camera no longer works

The minimum speeding fine has risen from £100 to £150, and AI cameras are rolling out.
New AI-powered cameras can monitor several vehicles and lanes at once, and average-speed HADECS 4 systems now cover all smart motorways. Speeds and fines are set in miles per hour, unlike the rest of Europe.
KEY FACTS
CAMERA LOCATIONS
Around 8,028, all types, largest in Europe
TOLERANCE
Around 10% of the reading
LICENCE AT RISK
12 points in 3 years
ANNUAL INFRACTIONS
2,536,194 in 2024 (England and Wales only)

Thank you so so much!! Never expected. Thank you 🙏
