Minister Mallon said, “Practical driving tests have been disrupted due to the Executive regulations introduced to help stop the spread of Covid-19.
“I recognise these are challenging times for us all.
“And I appreciate the frustrations felt by learner drivers unable to take their practical driving tests at this time.
“My priority during this crisis continues to be to keep customers and staff safe while minimising disruption.
“In July 2020 I asked my officials to amend the Driving Licence Regulations to extend the validity of theory test pass certificates, which expire between 1 March 2020 and 31 October 2020 by eight months and the validity of off-road motorcycle test pass certificates.
