Driving Tests: Devon
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps her Department is taking to increase the availability of practical driving tests in rural Devon.
Answered by Lilian Greenwood
The Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency’s (DVSA) main priority is upholding road safety standards while it works hard to reduce car practical driving test waiting times.
In recent months, DVSA has recruited new driving examiners into driving test centres that serve customers in Devon.
On the 23 April, the Secretary of State for Transport appeared before the Transport Select Committee and announced that DVSA will take further actions to reduce waiting times for all customers across the country.
Further information on these actions and progress on the DVSA’s 7-point plan, which was set out last year, can be found on GOV.UK.
