that is from guardian, they say it could be? so does any 1 actually know if its goes up or not?

Right wing guardian always slow on news uptake.

It is definitely happening according to DVLA. You can book it before your 18 the test itself must be on your birthday or later.

The restriction on engine size only applies to those who haven't passed their driving test yet.

I know. Clarkson seemed to think it was a good idea - probably the first government policy he has ever agreed with.

Unlucky!

Edit: Can one of the mods make this a sticky maybe? I fear we'll get lots of similar questions as the year grows closer to a close!
