News Update

The DVSA are encountering long delays with the driving test bookings in several postcode areas.

 

The DVSA have announced the following:

Car test waiting times

The work we are doing to increase the number of car test appointments continues and our work to increase car test availability is a big priority for us.

We have made more tests available by:

  • returning to 7 tests a day for each examiner

  • ensuring qualified DVSA employees who don’t carry out tests as part of their day job help with testing

  • offering out of hours and weekend driving tests

We will also be consulting on a range of regulatory measures, which aim to reduce the number of candidates booking a test who are not ready and give us greater flexibility to provide more tests. We’ll share more information on this in due course.

Unfortunately, demand for tests continues to be very high. The current national average waiting time for a car test is around 15 weeks. 79 test centres have a waiting time of the maximum 24 weeks.

 

Check Practical Test Availability

The Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) are gradually releasing new practical driving test dates, but some areas throughout the UK, Wales, and Scotland are encountering delays of up to 24 weeks.

The Big Question. When do I book my intensive course? The answer is now, because if you wait too long the driving instructor’s diary availability is going to decrease. At least by allocating a driving instructor you can discuss an intensive driving course plan and provisionally book some dates in the diary.

Arrange with your driving instructor to do part of your intensive driving course and this will enable you to look for an earlier test date, because you will be nearer to test standard and then use the outstanding hours of your course just prior to the test.

The Pass Now Team will book your theory & practical driving tests subject to the DVSA availability and send you confirmation that will enable changes to be made to the date, time and different test centre if required.
