Driving Instruction: Plymouth
(asked on 14th March 2023) - View Source
Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps he is taking to increase the availability of driving instructor tests in Plymouth.
This question was answered on 20th March 2023
The Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency operates a 12-week booking window for approved driving instructor (ADI) part 2 [driving ability] tests, and part 3 [instructional ability] tests. A ‘book to hold’ system is in place for people booking a test outside of that window. The book to hold list is assessed daily to monitor demand.
In Plymouth, as of 15 March 2023:
- there is availability for the ADI part 2 test within the booking window;
- no part 2 tests booked to hold; and
- one part 3 test booked to hold.
