DVSA is selectively inviting people to book their driving test.
DVSA will send emails out:
·
on 15 July to critical workers in England, Scotland and Wales who
had a test booked during lockdown
·
from 16 July to candidates in England whose practical car test was put
on hold due to lockdown
Both emails will include a link to book a new test date as the candidate
booking system remains closed.
This link will only work for people who have been invited to rebook
their test.
When DVSA emails candidates whose tests were put on hold due to
lockdown, they will initially invite around 10,000 each day, split in batches
to spread out demand on the service.
All available appointments will be shown on the online service. Do not
contact DVSA customer service centre as they will not be able to book any
alternative test slots.
Making sure your pupils are ready
Driving Instructors should speak to your pupils before they rebook their
tests to make sure:
·
they are ready to take their test
·
you are available to take them
As examiners will only be at test centres when they have a test booked,
dvsa have increased the minimum notice period for booking a test from 60
minutes to 10 hours.
Wearing a face covering
All candidates must wear a face covering when taking their driving test,
unless they have a good reason not to. This includes if:
·
they have a physical or mental illness or impairment, or a disability
that means they cannot put on, wear or remove a face covering
·
putting on, wearing or removing a face covering would cause them severe distress
When they arrange their test, they’ll need to say
if there’s a good reason they cannot wear a face covering. The email will
tell them how to do this.
