The Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) has confirmed new requirements for testing and training in England amid the adjustment of regulations brought in due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

As the BMF has previously reported, testing is due to resume on July 4. To achieve this safely, students will need to wear a face covering and their own earpiece, and there should not be physical contact between documentation and either the student or examiner.

Furthermore, Scotland and Wales will also see theory testing which had been suspended rescheduled to July 14 onwards. Those affected by this change will be contacted by the DVSA to inform them, and critical workers will be exempt.
