A minimum learning period for learner drivers - Gov.UK consultation
« on: »
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.

The idea of having to jump through hoops before you can have the opportunity to prove that you are competent to drive seems to be devoid of merit, assuming that guaranteeing more business for driving schools is not in and of itself meritorious.
