Currently the whole process of learning to drive, and the driving test itself, are under review by the Government. As a result of this, there have been many announcements in the press, often resulting in misunderstanding by the readers, who then verbally pass on their interpretations. These interpretations evolve, in much the same way as ‘Chinese Whispers’ evolve, and the end result is a complete exaggeration of the truth! So, if you hear some incredible rumour about the process of learning to drive, the driving test and post-test restrictions, ask the experts first. Please do call us and we will gladly give you the latest, accurate, information.

As from 1^st October 2007, candidates who arrive for a driving or theory test without either a full photocard licence (BOTH photocard and paper counterpart) or an old style paper licence with a valid passport, will not be allowed to test and will lose their fee. Currently candidates are  allowed, under certain circumstances, to sign a declaration if they arrive without the paper counterpart. This practice will cease on October 1^st.

Please note a driving licence must be replaced if it has been lost, stolen, defaced or destroyed. Full details of how to get a replacement are available from DVLA via www.direct.gov.uk/motoring or can be obtained by telephoning them on 0870 2400009.
