NASP has written to ministers warning that a potential fuel supply crisis could seriously disrupt driving tests and lessons across the UK.

In a joint letter from the Driving Instructors Association (DIA), Motor Schools Association (MSA), and Approved Driving Instructors National Joint Council (ADINJC), the partnership highlights how fuel rationing could reduce test availability, limit tuition, and make it harder for learners to attend appointments.

With waiting times already under pressure, NASP warns the system has little capacity to absorb further disruption, and the consequences for learners, instructors, and road safety could be significant.

The letter also raises concerns over the lack of a clear contingency plan from the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA), and calls for urgent action, including priority fuel access for instructors and examiners.
