However, you can use an outward-facing camera fitted to a vehicle when the test starts or ends in a DVSA car park.

A camera fitted to a test vehicle must:

• face outside the vehicle and not film inside it
• not record audio inside the vehicle

The driving examiner won’t start the test if they know it’s being filmed or recorded inside the vehicle.

Dealing with personal data

Get permission before filming

We’ve been made aware of filmed content containing personal information that has been posted on social media by ADIs without permission of either DVSA or the identified individuals.

The DVSA Registrar will contact those ADIs concerned to ask them to remove this from the public domain.
