The cost of taking a driving test is set to rise from May.
Under Driving Standards Agency proposals, the cost of the theory test will rise from 15.50 to 16 while the practical car driving test will go up from 36.75 to 38.
The practical motorcycle test fees will rise from 45 to 46.50 and fees for the lorry/bus driving test are also to go up from 73.50 to 76.
The cost of lorry and bus tests has not been increased since April 1998, while fees were last increased in April 1999 for theory tests, and May 1999 for car and motorcycle practical tests.
Subject to consultation on the proposed increases, it is intended to introduce the higher fees on May 14.
