Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps she is taking to reduce the number of driving tests terminated on the grounds of public safety.

Driving examiners will terminate a test on public safety grounds only where it is necessary to manage risk to the learner, the examiner or other road users.

Through its "Ready to Pass?" campaign, the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) encourage learners to make sure that they will be ready and able to take the test they have booked and to change or cancel their appointment in good time if they are not.
