Department For Transport
The Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) suspended non-testing duties for its staff who are qualified to conduct driving tests, from October 2023 to March 2024, in order to maximise the number of examiners available to conduct practical car tests, and to further reduce driving test waiting times. This has resulted in a reduction in the number of Compulsory Basic Training (CBT) instructor standards checks conducted in recent quarters.
