The Flame Pit / A minimum learning period for learner drivers - Gov.UK consultation
« on: March 28, 2026, 05:32:56 pm »
The Department for Transport is seeking views on introducing mandatory requirements that learner drivers must meet (such as minimum number of hours of tuition/practice) and a minimum time period between passing a theory test and taking a practical driving test for a standard car licence.
The aim is to introduce a structured approach that gives learners more time to increase their competence and experience before taking a test.
The associated questionnaire also poses the question as to whether mandatory requirements should also apply to those who lose their licenses?
The consultation closes on 11 May 2026.
