Learner drivers will have to pay less for their theory test under changes coming into effect from next month.
The fee for car and motorcycle theory tests will fall by £6 in October, taking the cost of a test from £31 to £25, with a further drop of £2 in October 2015.
The UK Government has said the move is expected to save would-be motorists almost £100 million over the next decade.
Transport Minister Stephen Hammond announced the cut earlier this year.
He said: “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.”
Alastair Peoples, Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency Chief Executive, said: “By agreeing new contract arrangements for the delivery of theory tests we have secured significant cost savings, and it is right that we pass these savings on to our customers.
“We want to make sure that we continue to keep pace with customers’ needs and deliver services in a way which is both convenient and cost effective.”
