UK opens up more driving test slots to help reduce backlog

The UK is addressing a significant backlog in driving tests by opening up more slots, responding to a 15% increase in bookings compared to last year. With over 668,000 practical driving tests scheduled, this move by the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency aims to accommodate the growing number of learner drivers eager to hit the road. This is great news for those waiting to take their tests, as it not only helps reduce the backlog but also supports the mobility needs of new drivers.
