The DVSA has confirmed a rule change for young drivers. The DVSA says it is "making these changes a permanent part of the driving test from 24 November 2025" (next Monday).

The trial, which took place at 20 driving test centres across Great Britain, focused on reducing the number of stops during the test from 4 to 3 and lowering the frequency of emergency stop exercises from 1 in 3 tests to 1 in 7.

It also focused on adding flexibility to the independent driving segment (this can be following a sat nav, traffic signs or both) to run for the full duration of the test. And now the DVSA is rolling out the changes - which it says are "subtle and meanginful" - "to all driving test centres".
