Good news for drivers in Ontario.

A number of fees for drivers' licences and tests have been frozen — ahead of scheduled increases set to come into effect Sept. 1.

The move announced by the Progressive Conservatives today halts the price increases planned by the previous Liberal government.

A five-year drivers licence renewal was scheduled to increase to $97 but will instead remain $90.

All A, B, C, D, E, and F road tests fees will remain $96.75 instead of increasing to $100.25.

Knowledge tests for those same licences will remain $23.25, rather than increasing to $24.

The fee freeze means the government will lose $1.6 million in revenue.
