"To make it fairer on existing learners drivers, we've changed one part of the new Novice Driver Laws.
The change means that learners who got their permits on/before the 29 June 2008 will continue to progress under the 'old system' and will NOT have to wait six months between passing their Practical Driving Assessment and taking the Hazard Perception Test. They will only have to do 25 hours of supervised driving.'
