Lars Driving School

Important announcement from the RSA.
From 9 March 2026, all learner drivers presenting for test will need to show evidence that they are insured to drive the vehicle they will use for their test. This evidence will need to be shown, on the day, to the driver tester conducting their test and can be in the following format: • A certificate of insurance naming the learner driver as covered, and • Where the learner driver is not named on the certificate of insurance, an email / letter (on headed paper) from their insurance company stating that the person is covered, for the vehicle registration, and the day of the test, or • Where the learner driver is using an Approved Driving Instructors or School of Motoring vehicle, a copy of the certificate of insurance (front and rear) showing that the appropriate insurance is in place for the purpose of a driving test. o Where this information is not visible on the certificate, an accompanying letter on headed paper outlining this detail. This new measure is being introduced to mitigate the risk of a driver tester being in a vehicle with an uninsured driver. The RSA will be updating communications to learner drivers and our website to reflect these new changes which will come into effect from 9 March 2026. Where the driver tester cannot establish from the evidence provided that the learner driver is insured then their driving test will not go ahead and they will lose their fee.
