Driving Test Prices Going Up

Recently the DSA announced that it will again putting prices up for driving test fees. This increase applies to all tests both theory and practical for all types of vehicles and qualifications.

And in past many, many years everytime they increase the charges they have made sure not to increase the compensation for test cancellations.

This it seems is an unfair situation especially in the current economic climate when students take days of work only to be told that their examiner was delayed on the test before and cannot conduct their exam.

They have also stopped handing out compensation claim forms to students in an attempt to decrease the number of claims, and advise students to download it from the website.

Even if all this is done, the compensation paid is always halved to the amount claimed and the hire of the driving school car is limited for some unquantifiable reason to just one and a half driving lesson prices. Now this is very unfair as car hire for the day of the test is never that cheap, even in the most remote parts of the UK.

It is high time complaints were made to the transport minister to have changes made.
