Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what the average waiting time for the driving theory test is in each region of England.
This question was answered on 31st May 2016
The Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) has a target that 95% of candidates should be offered a booking for a driving theory test within two weeks of their preferred date. DVSA uses that target to measure the length of time candidates have to wait for a theory test.
At the time of writing, the national position, broken down by region, was as follows:
London and South East | 97.12% |
Midlands | 99.46% |
Northern | 98.30% |
Wales and Western | 98.71% (figure includes England only) |
