Thousands of learners face the additional costs of keeping their driving skills sharp until their tests can be rearranged following the adverse weather. Thousands of learner drivers face having to pay for extra lessons after the snow and freezing weather conditions forced the cancellation of driving tests across the UK, it emerged today.
