New test rules

From 15 November 2013, new rules on bringing laden vehicles for driving tests start, affecting D1+E (minibus and trailer) and D+E(bus or coach and trailer). According to the DSA, the rules are being introduced in the interests of road safety to more accurately assess the driving of heavier, laden vehicles, which drivers will be in charge of once they pass.
