Changes in theory test 2014

The latest good news for those eager to obtain a driver's licence is that in October 2014 the cost of driving theory test will be reduced from £31 to £25, which makes a 20% decrease in theory test cost. According to Guardian, the transport minister, Stephen Hammond, announced that: “We want to keep costs down for all motorists – that's why we have frozen fuel duty – and by reducing the cost of the theory test we will save aspiring motorists around £9m annually. This has been achieved without compromising on the vital role the theory test plays in making sure that new drivers know the Highway Code and the rules of the road. I am delighted that theory tests will now offer better value for money while continuing to meet these rigorous standards."

According to the spokesman, the changes in cost of theory test for motorbikes and other vehicles will also take place this year.
