DVSA - Update

From Monday (14 June 2021) our driving examiners will be returning to carrying out 7 tests each day in England, Scotland and Wales. This change will allow us to increase capacity across the national network by an average of 15,000 to 20,000 tests per month.

We are also reintroducing the short notice cancellation fee from Thursday 17 June. This will help reduce the number of learner drivers who do not turn up for their driving test and free up the test slot to another candidate.

In the coming weeks, we’ll publish our full plan for reducing driving test waiting times and share it with you and your pupils. I’ll update you on this again on this as soon as I can.
