Driving tests affected by bad weather – comment BADDIA driving instructors

NO PRACTICAL driving tests have been conducted across most of Great Britain today because of the bad weather.

To make the test fair, it is designed to assess a driver’s ability under normal conditions. Bad weather, such as ice and snow, do not allow us to do this and could also compromise the safety of test candidates, examiners and other road users.

Test routes are being checked regularly and testing may commence if the weather improves.

Candidates who are affected will have their tests automatically rebooked and should receive confirmation from us in approximately three working days. They can check the status of and manage their test appointments at direct.gov.uk/drivingtest .
