People who fail their tests will have to wait 28 days, instead of 10 before booking another one.
Learner drivers have faced a long waiting time since the end of Covid restrictions on testsThe Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency says it will change its rules to stop drivers from booking tests before they are ready.Around 53% of exams are failed, according to AA data from February 2023, with the average waiting time in November 2022 peaking at 24 weeks.Tests were banned during Covid lockdown, forcing drivers to then wait months before getting the chance to lose their L-plates.
The plans, which will come into effect this summer, also include extending the notice period during which a cancelled car test will result in a lost fee from three to 10 days. "The only thing that they're going to be able to do to reduce the backlog is either have more driving test centres, more examiners, less strikes," she tells BBC Newsbeat.
"And I think at the moment as well, the thing that adds to those nerves is that the wait is such a long period of time.'It's not fair'"I started my driving lessons when I was in sixth form. But then Covid happened so I couldn't carry on with my lessons.
