Dvsa Reviews 

The process to simply book a driving test is simply SHOCKING.
Whoever designed and coded this piece of sh** should be fired. This is typical of public sector unprofessionalism.

This is what the process SHOULD offer:
1. Select your test centre - near or in the place that you've learnt to drive over the past year (common sense)
2. Be offered a range of dates that are available for that test centre
3. Select that date, or be offered the nearest test centre to your post code that HAS dates.

Instead, it's focussed on you choosing a date and then choosing a test centre only to be told that date for that test centre isn't available, but why don't you try Glasgow, or Truro - miles away from where you live?!
THIS IS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE A QUIZ .GOV.UK !

And this is before we even start talking about non-availability of tests anywhere in the UK.

Had my first driving test and failed because of the examiners RUDENESS and unprofessionalism. I called dvsa reporting the incident, they said they would call me back. Did they? No. This examiner has been complained about MULTIPLE times yet he's still there. What a joke.
This is the Ipswich Test Centre by the way.

Little rats booked my sons test took the money he turned up today amd was not on the system now has to wait months for another test

Please Stand By ... seconds ... minutes ... days, to change the driving test date and time, then, if fortunate, arriving at the finding a test station page that offers a very limited and time consuming service ... Broken Britain. Thank you for your patience.

Have to wait my UK driving test for 6 month! Is crazy! Even in africa or Asia is easier to finish driving test! This is not west country anymore!

Very worse organisation in the UK . There is not test date are available around the UK. People are buying exams slots for 500 pounds. Really bad resting the exam. Booking exam slot U need to stay Infront of the computers every day with our any work. Complete chaos.

I wanted to send a huge thank you to my examiner, Salma, at the Pinner test centre on 12/02/26. She was incredibly calm and professional, which really helped settle my nerves. She explained the independent driving section clearly and her encouragement during the test made a huge difference. It was a really positive experience, and I'd love for this positive feedback to be displayed.

Shit website, can't change booking.. 1 star is too much, should be in negative not above zero..

Had a really great experience with DVSA Examiner, Brian, at the Kassam motorcycle test centre in Oxford this week. He gave clear instructions for both Module 1 and Module 2 and good, constructive feedback at the end of both tests.

27.10.25 RRG Rochdale fraudulently claimed my car had failed its MOT claiming it needed 2 new rear tires (worn cords showing); new rear brake pads (less than 1.5mm) and new discs at the rear. TOTAL COST £1003.20 NOTE - The tire cords were not showing and the pads had more than 1.5mm on them.

28.10.25 MOT redone and passed by another independent garage the next day.No failures just two minor advisories

29.10.25 I submitted a complaint to DVSA

31.10.25 email received confirming receipt of my complaint.

02.12.25 DVSA eventually contacted me to say they couldn't do anything because 28 days had now passed since the original MOT and my complaint.

What is the point of submitting a complaint if they sit on it and wait until the statutory deadline has passed. DVSA is openly enabling fraud by allowing RRG Skoda in Rochdale to falsely fail MOTs in order to create work and generate income.

My theory test is running out in April, and I was trying to get a test booked almost impossible. I got up at 5am twice Mondays and stand in front of the computer for hours in order to get a slot. That is too much to ask for.

But I failed it for a small mistake. I don't think I will do it again. I think the whole driving test needs to reform. 2 years last for theory test is not enough because it took me one year in order to get a instructor to teach me, then 1 year is gone. Then I need to book the test after learning fews months. It would be impossible to I pass after learning. I feel examiners does not care how much affords you put in in your test

To book a Driving Test it’s IMPOSSIBLE these days even months ahead there are no slots available… what’s wrong with this Company? you can book only by paying paying other people hundreds of pounds
are they become so corrupt? Should we start to sign Petition? GET IT SORTED!

Cannot change driving test.

Have to be online dead on 6am every Monday morning to check for a cancellation but the site tells me to phone them but the lines are not open at that time..

How silly is that?

Tests are time sensitive and having to book so far in advance to beat the bots and scammers is just disgusting

Sort your driving test bookings out.
How can people book tests then SELL on sites like Facebook for hundreds of pounds. Surely tests shouldn't be transferable! No wonder noone can ever book a test apart from i assume criminal gangs exploiting a God awful out of date system!

I wish one day we could be able to give negative star on our review, dvsa website it's a junkie, trying to access my book for driving test and it says access denied, doesn't matter what it do, even following all suggestions given by the error page, nothing changes.

TEST CENTER- ABERGAVENNY-
My examiner was called Mark - what a nice man! I was genuinely so nervous, he came into the waiting room to collect me and immediately put me at ease! I can't thank him enough for explaining how the test worked etc etc and then...we were off! He really did put me at ease. Thank you Mark for your expertise and knowledge and for just being such a nice person. It is a truly scary thing, to go and try and pass a driving test, especially as a mature/older woman, you made it much easier and I really appreciated how kind you were. Thank you.

The system remains broken
Emails are sent to learner drivers with 'advice' and 'suggestions' about preparing for your test! How insensitive!
There need to be more tests available so that learner drivers are not put through the current stressful process which blocks them from getting a test when they are ready.
How long is this going to continue for these poor learner drivers?

Take money from the vulnerable and those with learning difficulties unfairly. Absolutely disgusting.

Swindon Test Centre Mark Examiner

Absolutely lovely person who made my pupil feel so comfortable during the test, especially as she was extremely nervous. Just genuinely a lovely friendly person who made it a memorable experience in a positive way. More like Mark please.

very disappointed!
booked my driving test in july 2025 for middle of january 2026 and now just a month before DVSA has changed my test to another test centre ( to far from me) because they doesn't have enough exams! its a shame to wait months then to change my test to a new centre! a cant do any lesson there because its to far from me! they say it's illegal to use thirt party to book tests! but my question is is it legal te let them book lot of tests?!
🔴 also instructors who ask for license photos should be prosecuted and their licenses should be revoked. only then will the system return to its previous state!

my first instructor lady asked me for a picture of my license but i haven't sent.
and she teached me 6 hours (3 lessons)
she never asked me to show her my license
or just to ask if i had one!

i said i have my L in case you want to see
and she said oh ok send me a picture when you can!
