Covid-19 Questions

GoSafe continues to enforce in key locations and routes to ensure the roads are safe for all essential road users. By ensuring we do not see a rise in collisions or injuries, we can help reduce the pressure on our colleagues in the NHS as they dedicate their time and effort to saving the lives of patients suffering with the Covid-19 virus. 

The process is still in place and if possible you should ask for assistance to get the forms returned. 

If you have any concerns regarding your particular case please contact our Central Ticket Office:

As of March 20th, 2020 all classroom based driver education courses have been postponed. However you may be able to attend an online coached course.  If you want to know if this applies to your specific offence please contact the relevant Safety Camera Process Unit. Further information on driver education courses is available on the NDORS website for further information and updates: https://www.ndors.org.uk/ 

The DVSA (Driver & Vehicle Standards Agency) are extending MOTs for 6 months. 

Any vehicles that have an MOT due on or after 30/03/2020 will be automatically extended for 6 months. 

The DVSA will update the MOT on the vehicle record 5 working days before the expiry date. If you have any further questions around MOTs please contact: enquiries@dvsa.gov.uk 

However, as restrictions are eased when safe to do so, all drivers whose car, motorcycle or van is due for an MOT test from 01/08/2020 will be required to get a test certificate to continue driving their vehicle.

Drivers with an MOT due date before 01/08/2020 will still receive a 6-month exemption from testing. However, all vehicles must continue to be properly maintained and kept in a roadworthy condition, and people are able to voluntarily get their MOT sooner should they wish, even if they are exempt from the legal requirement. Motorists can be prosecuted for driving an unsafe vehicle.

All across Wales, we have seen speed of traffic increase during lockdown conditions. This has a specific impact on road safety, and causes great concern to the public.  We use intelligence from a manner of sources, including our police and highways authority colleagues in order that we can make sure people are safe on our roads and protect key workers and the NHS.
