      Learner drivers have not been able to practice with instructors or take their tests during lockdown.

      They could only practice to drive with members of their household or support bubble.

      But Boris Johnson’s roadmap announcement yesterday means they will finally be able to get back on the road.

      The i newsletter latest news and analysis

      Here’s what you need to know about what the

      Roadmap rules

      Theory tests, practical tests and lessons have all been banned under the nationwide lockdown since the beginning of January.

      But the Prime Minister’s announcement means driving lessons will resume on 12 April.

      The loosening of restrictions is subject to change, however, if there is a spike in Covid cases so the date could yet be moved by the Government.

      Those who have driving tests booked before the 12 April date, are eiligble for a refund which they can apply to the DVLA for.

      There is likely to very few tests available because of the backlog, similar to the situation after last year’s lockdowns.

      Just over 194,000 tests were conducted over the first two quarters of 2020/21 compared to almost 850,000 recorded at the same stage last year.

      Simon Williams, an RAC spokesperson, said in December: “The scale of the pandemic’s impact on novice drivers is clear to see.

      “Even with looser restrictions over the summer, the number of practical driving tests was only half what it was in the same period last year.

      “Given how important the ability to drive is in enabling people to work, there will undoubtedly be enormous frustration among learners about having to delay the start of their driving careers.”

      PPE rules

      Both learner drivers and instructors are likely to be subject to strict rules on PPE when tests and lessons resume.

      Instructors were previously urged to “thoroughly” clean vehicles before and after lessons and also pay “particular attention to areas of the car that are touch points” such as door handles.

      Anyone taking lessons or a test may also be advised to wear a face covering and disposable gloves.

      Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales will set their own rules regarding driving lessons.

      Social distancing is difficult to implement in a car as both the instructor and learner have to be in close proximity.
