Bad weather and driving tests

We only cancel driving tests because of bad weather when we absolutely have to.

Your safety is our main priority. We won’t carry out a driving test when adverse weather presents a safety risk to those involved. These conditions include: 

  • snow and ice
  • fog
  • flooding

Staying in touch

If you think your test may be cancelled due to severe weather conditions you should phone the local test centre as soon as possible. You can also get in touch by:
