Driver and rider tests will be suspended from November 5 until December 2, to coincide with the second lockdown in England.

In addition, the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) has said that as well as examinations, driver training will be suspended over the same timeframe. It means that learners will be unable to book driving lessons with a certified instructor.

Barrie Greenhouse, co-owner of Pass4fun in Wolverhampton, said: "It's just frustrating how things are but we've got to be safe and that's it.

"We hope we can all get going again in December.

"There's already a huge waiting list with tests from the original lockdown, so of course it's going to multiply it.
