page_title: News story Driving tests and MOTs for heavy vehicles suspended for up to 3 months to help tackle spread of coronavirus
section_headers: Protecting the public
section_content: Transport Secretary Grant Shapps said:

We are having to take big decisions to protect the public in our national
battle against COVID-19. Regrettably, we have had to suspend driver testing
for up to 3 months to help tackle the spread of the virus.
It is vital that those who need a test can get one so DVSA is offering tests
to those who have a critical need, such as the NHS and drivers delivering
goods across the UK.
Those who have tests cancelled will have priority when testing resumes.

The tests being suspended include:

car driving tests
motorcycle tests
lorry, coach and bus driving tests
approved driving instructor (ADI) tests and checks

DVSA will contact everyone with a test booked during this time to let them
know their test has been cancelled and that it will automatically re-book for
them.
The decision will be kept under review. The latest information about driving
tests and COVID-19 is on GOV.UK.
