Driving test cancellations.

Despite the fact we have no control over testing , that is purely the DVSA, we at BADI appreciate the situation and how much it affects you , our pupils and also how it affects us as instructors too.

So in light of the current situation, regarding driving tests In Banbury.
We wrote to the dvsa with our concerns about the amount of cancelled tests that Banbury is having at the moment and how it is affecting candidates.
This was then followed up with our Chairman having a meeting with the test centre manager.

As it stands we are a few examiners down. Despite the DVSA being short staffed they have found some examiners to come in and cover testing, so hopefully this will reduce the amount of tests being cancelled and how long you have to wait for a new test , however some tests still might be cancelled.

This isn’t an ideal situation and the DVSA are fully aware of the upset and frustration this causes and will only cancel as a last resort.

Hopefully with the extra cover, if you do get cancelled you won’t have to wait too long.

Driving Test Cancellations

We are aware that quite a few practical driving tests have been cancelled by the DVSA this month in Banbury.

Each time an examiner conducts a test they sit in very close proximity to the candidate - this can happen at least 7 or 8 times a day, every day.
They are only human and don’t have a bullet proof immune system so they do pick up bugs just like we all do.

It seems Banbury, has had a few examiners who have sadly fallen foul of this.

The DVSA usually carry a few spare slots for such problems like illness or bad weather, but these have been used up and cancelled tests are being moved back to May/June.

We know it is not ideal, especially as the waiting list is currently about 6 months long, to then have it moved another 3 months further back can be a very frustrating situation for all involved .

We have asked the DVSA to look into this and see what, if anything, can be done.

Until then, if you have had a test cancelled, use this time to do mock tests with your instructor to get better prepared. You can never have too much practice!
