US EditionDVSA reveal the top 10 most common driving test mistakes
- On April 8, 2025, Heidi Alexander, the Labour Party’s Secretary responsible for transport, revealed new measures aimed at addressing the backlog of driving tests at DVSA centres throughout Great Britain.
- The backlog stemmed from around 60,000 driving tests wasted in 2024 due to candidates failing to show up for appointments, prompting policy changes to improve attendance and booking systems.
- The new measures include extending the cancellation notice period from three to ten full working days, recruiting and training 450 additional examiners, and doubling training capacity to increase monthly tests by 10,000.
- Shane Wilkinson, Auto Express’s senior content editor, commended the initiative, emphasizing that once learners secure their highly anticipated test appointment, it is crucial they are well-prepared to successfully convert that opportunity into obtaining a full driving licence.
- These initiatives indicate the government anticipates quicker test processing and better preparation for drivers, while continuing to seek feedback regarding modifications to how driving tests are scheduled.
