Driving Lessons
Driving instructors are not required to stop driving lessons during the current National Mourning. It is entirely up to instructors also, not to conduct driving lessons, particularly on the day of the State Funeral.
Practical Driving Tests Cancellations
The DVSA will notify students who have a practical driving test scheduled for September 19, 2022, that their test will be postponed. Driving tests will automatically be rescheduled on the earliest available date. Some driving instructors, who manage their student’s practical driving test bookings must inform them that it will not take place.
