As of yesterday – Monday, 7 April 2014 – both theory and practical driving tests can only be conducted in English or Welsh.
Now, there isn’t a lot of linguistic clutter in that statement, and it means just what it says: YOU CAN ONLY TAKE YOUR THEORY OR PRACTICAL TEST IN ENGLISH OR WELSH FROM 7 APRIL 2014.
Can I take my test in Punjabi after April 2014?
No! You can only take your tests in English or Welsh after 7 April 2014. You cannot have an interpreter on your practical test unless it is for British Sign Language (BSL). Read my earlier article which spells out clearly which languages are no longer supported.
