Learner Drivers Face 2027 Wait for Tests
Update: 2025-12-17
Description
Learner drivers face significant delays in booking practical driving tests, with a backlog not expected to clear until 2027. The pandemic led to over one million missed tests, with average waiting times of 22 weeks. Third-party companies are charging inflated prices, sometimes up to £500. The DVSA is struggling with demand due to automated booking systems. The Department for Transport is implementing new measures to stop third-party abuse and make the process more transparent.
