Latest TEST changes by the government.

So the DSA and Government have U turned and finally made a sensible decision regards the new test. The Test will now commence 30 March 2009. So the current local test centres, Bradford, Leeds etc.. will keep testing until next spring. The DSA have just announced a consultation exercise, which in their jargon means this is what we have already decided but by law we must go thru this process of consultation! The New test will be done in 2 separate parts. The off road exercise still conducted at a MPTC or one of these temporary sites and then the on road element at a more local test centre. For West yorkshire it is probably the best solution as they are so far behind with our MPTC build. However there is a catch the fees are going skyward again. They are keeping it at £80 for now, £10 off road, £70 on road. Next October it is going to rise to £90.50 a 12% increase just as the country slips into zero or negative inflation! If you click on the read more link it takes you to the DSA's web site where information on the format of the new test can be found.

The Government have ignored all the pleas of the biking industry and will allow European legislation to decide our driving test rules. The new bike test will come into effect in March 2009.

The test fee has risen 30% from £60 to £80. It is set to rise again to £90.50 plus the Theory test is also going UP UP UP!

For the future the government have also allowed the 3rd European directive to pass unchallenged into Uk law. This is likely to raise the DAS age to 24 or 26 years and there will be a number of restrictions imposed on the size and power of what you can ride. Plus younger learners will need to pass a series of tests to get a full license. So the message is GET THAT LICENCE NOW BEFORE ANYMORE DRACONIAN MEASURES ARE IMPOSED!
