Wearing glasses with face coverings on test
All pupil must wear a face covering when they come for their driving test, unless they have a good reason not to. This includes if:
they have a physical or mental illness or impairment, or a disability that means they cannot put on, wear or remove a face covering
putting on, wearing or removing a face covering would cause them severe distress
they need to remove it during their test to avoid harm or injury or the risk of harm or injury to others
If pupils wear glasses
Wearing glasses does not count as a good reason not to wear a face covering.
How driving instructors can help them prepare
You should practise with them driving whilst wearing a face covering before their test to help them prepare. Talk to your pupil about the best way to do this. This could include:
trying different types of face covering
making sure your face covering fits well
making sure the vehicle is well-ventilated
