On 4 January, the government announced a new national lockdown to control the spread of coronavirus.
The rules will come into law on January 5 and will last until at least the middle of February.
They mean that all driving and riding lessons and tests have been cancelled, the DVSA said today.
A spokesman said: "Driving and riding lessons, including CBT must not take place until the restrictions are lifted. This includes ADI part 2 and 3 tests and standards checks."
The rules from the DVSA state:
All driving and riding tests have been suspended from 5 January until the restrictions are lifted.
The DVSA will email candidates who are affected by this to let them know the DVSA will reschedule their test.
If you have booked a test you will receive an email to let you know it will be rescheduled to a new time and date.
The DVSA will then send you an email with the new time and date as soon as possible.
If the new time and date is not suitable you can choose a different time and date on GOV.UK.
All theory tests will be suspended until the restrictions are lifted.
The DVSA will email anyone who has booked a test and is affected by this to let them know their theory test is on hold and that they will need to reschedule it by visiting https://www.gov.uk/change-theory-test.
