Earlier today (Tuesday 9th December), the DVSA published the full report for the consultation on improving the booking service for driving tests.

Key Outcomes

The outcome of this consultation means that:

  • Only learner drivers can book and manage tests
  • Changes (including swaps and location changes) will be limited to 2 and we will limit the location that booked tests can be swapped to

The full report can be viewed on GOV.UK

Expert Insights

Shortly after this report was published, a follow-up blog post was uploaded by Christian Oreschnick, the DVSA’s driver and rider service development lead. In this post, Christian provides a greater level of context into the report and discusses:

  • The data used to inform decision-making
  • The rationale behind the changes
  • The DVSA’s next steps and how these will be announced
