Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, how many practical car driving tests were cancelled with fewer than (a) three working days’ notice and (b) ten working days’ notice in each month since January 2024.

From 8 April 2025, the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) required learner drivers to give 10 full working days’ notice to change or cancel their car driving test without losing the test fee. Asking learner drivers to give more notice should give other people more chance to use the appointment. This will help to reduce driving test waiting times

The attached spreadsheet (WPQ-00061568) details how many car practical driving tests were cancelled by learners with fewer than (a) three working days’ notice and (b) ten working days’ notice in each month since January 2024.
