Storm Eunice is expected to cause significant disruption.
The Met Office has issued a rare Red Weather Warning for parts of the UK tomorrow, 18 February 2022.
Tests in Red weather warning areas – 18 February
All car, motorbike, lorry or bus driving tests will be cancelled if booked at any of the following centres:
• Barnstaple

• Bodmin
• Bridgend
• Bristol Avonmouth
• Bristol Kingswood
• Cardiff
• Cambourne
• Llanelli

We will email all candidates affected and rebook them into the next available test slot free of charge. If this is not suitable, they will need to look for an alternative test date and time.
Currently all other tests will go ahead but it is possible that other test centres may be affected as a result of Storm Eunice. We are keeping this under review and will contact any candidates that may be affected.
Trainer booked tests
All trainer booked tests in red weather warning areas will be cancelled and trainer bookers will be refunded.
