Practical car driving tests
• In December 2023, 152,474 practical car driving tests were carried out as a result of examiners’ hard work and effort.• This is the highest number of tests done in December since records began and helped to reduce the monthly average national driving test waiting time to 17.4 weeks in December
Planned strikes by driving examiners have been called off after PCS won significant concessions from Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency bosses.
