🔔 What’s New in 2025?
✅ DVSA Extends Test Cancellation Notice
From April 2025, learners must now give 10 full working days’ notice to change or cancel a test without losing their fee.
This is part of the DVSA’s effort to reduce wasted slots and improve availability for everyone.
✅ More Real-World Driving in Test Routes
New pilot tests across the UK now include more high-speed road exposure, independent sat nav driving, and complex junctions to better reflect real-life challenges.
✅ Category B Licence Now Covers Heavier Electric Vehicles
Drivers can now operate electric vans up to 4,250kg under a standard car licence — good news for learners preparing for greener driving futures.
