#UK DRIVING TEST UPDATE#
Once you pass your test you’ll need to remember to contact your insurer to update your licence from provisional to full, as you will no longer be insured to drive the vehicle with a provisional licence. You must ensure that you have the correct insurance policy while you’re learning to drive. Be aware that if your car does not meet the rules, your test will be cancelled and you will lose the slot and the fee. If you’re lucky enough to have your own car before passing your test, you’re able to use it for the practical exam provided it meets the rules explained above.
