Motorcycle rider tests scheduled for today and tomorrow (Thursday 19 and Friday 20 March) have been postponed owing to coronavirus.
The Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) made the announcement yesterday. It says that tests will be rebooked, free of charge, as soon as possible. Learners will receive an email from the DVSA as soon as the test has been rearranged.
Earlier, the DVSA had said that tests would continue as normal. This latest update suggests that future tests could be put on hold, but there’s no confirmation regarding dates beyond this week.
Learner riders are being told to stay at home if they are showing signs of coronavirus symptoms. These include a high temperature and a continuous cough.
Riding, theory and instructor tests will not go ahead for applicants with these symptoms. This also applies to driving instructors or anyone accompanying the person sitting the test.
