End Driving Test Slot Exploitation and Protect Learner Drivers’ Rights
We call on the DVSA and Government to protect learner drivers. Only pupils should book their own tests and must have passed the theory test. Instructors must be banned from bulk-booking or reselling slots. Learners should get refunds when instructors repeatedly cancel lessons, without going to court

Background
