You must clean the inside of your car before your test. This means:

• tidying any unnecessary items away from the dashboard, footwells, door pockets, cup holders and seats
• wiping down the dashboard and car controls

The examiner will do an additional clean of some surfaces.

The Driving and Vehicle Standards Agency has introduced safety precautions. These include:

• driving examiners wearing face coverings – they might also choose to wear gloves and use disposable seat covers
• limiting the number of people arriving for a driving test at the same time
• not allowing your driving instructor or supervising driver to sit in the back during your test
