Confronting DVSA Boss Over Driving Test Chaos

I have taken local frustrations over driving test delays directly to DVSA Chief Executive Beverley Warmington.

I highlighted how a broken booking system (exploited by bots and scammers) is blocking opportunities for residents. With theory tests expiring before practical slots become available, many face unnecessary delays in securing jobs and independence.

Warm words won’t get people behind the wheel. I demanded immediate action: more test slots, a crackdown on inflated resale prices and a system that prioritises genuine learners. In Redditch, a driving licence isn’t a luxury - it’s a lifeline.
