The DSA ( Driving Standards Agency) has decided to increase the driving test fees for 2009/2010, as if learning to drive and your 1st year of motoring isn’t expensive enough.

Ok the Theory tests for both bikes and cars have only risen by £1 each making them £31, but your car practical test will now cost £62 which is a rise of £5.50 and the motorcycle test which is a shocking £90.50 which has risen £10.50 and this will be implemented in October, so you better get your bike test booked ASAP.

The rises have been blamed on increases to cover general running costs and make sure that the test are always been developed.

The cost of updating or replacing your lost driving licence will also increase to £20.
