For learner drivers wanting to get back behind the wheel. The government restrictions have been lifted for private practice from today. So if you have a parent or someone from your household willing to take you out it’s now legal.
Please read the full document for all legislation surrounding it 😊
With any luck on 12th April if the government rollout plan goes ahead as they hope it does.
Driving tests are hopefully to resume in step two which means we should also be back.
For full details of the road forward read the official government document

With many more theory test certificates expected to expire, making the queues for theory tests even longer, and causing even more delay to practical tests, NASP have written to the government to once again urge them to look at this problem.
Despite all the upheaval this year… she’s passed her test 1st time, even after a 4week lockdown. Well done Emily Ord, all your hard work and dedication paid off. It’s been a real pleasure helping you along the way. Don’t forget to send me a pic of the new wheels 🚘🚖

Driving Instructors and pupils still in the dark as to whether training can start again 😡
Unfortunately no one knows for sure whether or not Driving Instructors are back to work. We’ve been told Sunderland are in tier 3 however the DVSA are as ever playing their cards close to their chests.
I’d like to think I will be back as of 3rd December and I’ll be in touch with everyone as soon as I know more from DVSA.
Driving tests going ahead 🤔 once again we do not know. This is decided by the DVSA and out of Instructors hands. I’d imagine DVSA won’t tell us anything for at least a couple of days. And I imagine the website won’t tell us anything as their timing is so predictable to have their website down for the full weekend this weekend ☹️
Unfortunately Driving Instructors have once again been locked down.
As England goes into lockdown from 5th Nov – 2nd December Driving Instructors are one of the industries that cannot work.
Today we were informed that all Driver & Rider training was suspended.
The last lockdown DVSA took no responsibility about Driving instructors, but this lockdown it’s been made official
Driving Tests are cancelled throughout this time, I will update regarding Theory Tests as soon as it’s confirmed. Please check your emails regularly for updates from DVSA regarding any tests you may have booked.
