Will Driving Tests Be Cancelled Again?

While there is no definitive answer as to whether driving tests will be cancelled again, currently, the answer is leaning towards no. However, it is best to confirm this with your instructor.

At the time of writing this, it's looking very positive for learner drivers waiting to do their driving test. 

Advice IF Driving Tests Are Cancelled

• The best piece of advice to keep your driving skills and to continue to improve them whilst you are waiting to take your driving tests is to practice. Ask a friend or family member who has their driver's license to take you out for drives and to practice turning, parking, reversing and driving on the motorway. The best way to practice with a friend or family member who has their driver's licence is to start in an area with little to no traffic and work your way up to more difficult, more crowded areas.
• Studying theory will also help you to sharpen your skills while practicing for your driving tests. Even if you have already taken your theorytests, studying theory will help you to learn the rules of the road, tell you what street signs mean, and develop your knowledge of driving to help you to prepare for your driving tests. There are countless websites available to provide study guides that allow you to take mock theory tests. 
• Ask a friend or family member to take you out for mock driving tests. Ask them to use real rules used in the real driving test so that you can see what areas you need to improve on. This will also help to keep you calm for your real exam because you know exactly what you are expecting.
