Driving Tests
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if she will provide for each driving test centre in Great Britain the car practical driving test waiting time in weeks in May 2026.
Answered by Simon Lightwood
The attached spreadsheet shows the average waiting time for car practical driving tests at each driving test centre (based on the national average waiting time metric of when a minimum of 10% of test slots are available) for May 2026.
The Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency also records national median waiting time data (the time between the first test booking and test taken) for practical car driving tests. The national median waiting time for a practical car driving test in May 2026 was 9.7 weeks.
This data, broken down by driving test centre, is currently not available for May 2026.
