Reform the UK Driving Test Booking System
Learner drivers are struggling to book practical driving tests. Slots are often unavailable for months. Bots and third-party apps are abusing the system, making access unfair.
Increase driving test availability and examiner capacity.
Introduce measures to prevent bots and automated rescheduling tools from abusing the system.
Improve transparency and fairness in the booking process.
This is a national issue that affects young people, low-income families, and essential workers. Urgent reform is needed to restore access and trust in a service many rely on.
