The stop on driving tests currently only applies to those booked for March 19 and 20, although it is not clear if it will be extended beyond that. The DVSA’s customer support service on Twitter is currently telling learners: “If there is more than 3 clear working days before your test date, please head to the website to change or cancel.” However, it is not clear if this is for all candidates or only those displaying coronavirus symptoms.

A driving instructor is celebrating after Raw Deal helped her get a new dual control car from Ford – plus a refund of more than £13,000.
Roberta Noble is well established in Aberdeenshire, where she has helped hundreds of learner drivers to pass their tests.
But the mum of three’s busy schedule was halted after she ran into problems with her new Fiesta.
The vehicle was off the road for months following a costly and long-running dispute with the manufacturer.
“Since last year I have had to pay out almost £14,000 to hire another dual control car to take my pupils out in,” said Roberta, 53, from Peterhead. “Ford was refusing to reimburse me this money while my own vehicle couldn’t seem to be fixed.”
