The DVSA plan to make changes to the Driving Test Booking system in an attempt to bring down waiting lists and increase the pass rate for learner drivers. I will stress that these need to be passed through parliament and the changes are planned for summer 2023.
The measures are as follows:
People will need to wait 28 working days before being able to take another car driving test after failing one, rather than the current 10 working days
People would need to move or cancel their car driving test at least 10 full working days before the appointment to avoid losing their test fee, rather than the current 3 full working days
Driving instructors would be legally required to display their approved driving instructor (ADI) or trainee driving instructor registration certificate in the windscreen of their car when they bring people for driving tests
Other changes are planned.
