Driving tests in England to resume this week - here’s when
Driving tests in England were suspended in March when the country entered into lockdown, in a bid to help stop the spread of coronavirus.

The practical part of the driving test stopped running on 20 March, with theory tests being suspended a day earlier, on 19 March.
Theory tests resumed for learner drivers on 4 July. Driving lessons in England also resumed on 4 July, to give learners the chance to practice before driving tests restart, with driving tests to resume from Wednesday 22 July.
Learners whose tests were cancelled due to the pandemic are being invited to rebook a test first.
Once this has been completed and critical workers have also taken their test, the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) will open the booking service to the general public.
