Require DVSA to allow candidates to request Same-Gender Driving Test Examiners

We think this would ensure fairness, professionalism, and comfort during tests, addressing possible concerns about potential bias or distraction from examiners of the opposite gender. We think driving tests can be highly stressful, and candidates deserve a fair and comfortable environment. We believe some may feel distracted or perceive bias when examined by someone of the opposite gender, which may impact their performance. We think allowing candidates to request a same-gender examiner would promote fairness, professionalism, and trust in the process, ensuring assessments focus solely on driving ability.
