There are changes to both practical and theory driving tests coming into force this year.
The Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) has confirmed that tests will be subject to cost increases.
The government agency is set to make changes that could see prices go up by 1.5 per cent, reports Birmingham Live.
The DVSA charges currently faced by motorists are set out in law which means any changed can only be implemented with parliament's permission.
The agency carried out a consultation which asked a wide variety of people - from members of the public to driving instructors.
An overwhelming number of positive results were returned with most people agreeing to the proposed increase, the DVSA said.
It claimed 68 per cent of respondents said that the proposed increases were fair and ministers have agreed to increase most of DVSA’s statutory fees.
But the fees won't increase just yet until later in 2022.
The chairman of the Motor Schools Association (MSA) responded that they largely agree to the fees increase saying: "I feel these increases are very modest and it would have helped if the increase had been more of a deterrent to people taking driving tests when not fully prepared.”
The Motorcycle Industry Association were in favour of the fee increase, and, in addition to making several proposals for service improvements, said:
"Yes, it is important to ensure both business customers and the public receive a good level of service and are able to benefit from advances in technology."
The DVSA has yet to confirmed the exact price increase of the tests.
