Reform the Driving Test Booking System and Stop Third-Party Exploitation

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Learners can’t book driving tests due to lack of slots and bots reselling them at inflated prices. The system is broken and unfair. We call on the Government to increase test availability, block bots, and protect learners from exploitation.

Driving test slots are almost impossible to book and Third-party resellers are using bots to grab appointments and sell them on at high prices. Many learners now face expired theory tests and lost job or education opportunities. We need urgent reform to restore fairness and accessibility.

Why it was rejected

The UK Government or Parliament was already taking the action it asked for.

The Government has consulted on reforms to the UK driving test system:

And the DVSA has set out how it plans to reduce driving test wait time:
