The Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) is making strenuous efforts to reduce the backlog of theory tests in England and Wales, thereby helping new riders get on the road.
From Monday 10 May to Wednesday 30 June, opening hours at most theory test centres in England and Wales will be extended, where conditions allow. Typically, centres will be open earlier and close later in the evenings, while some might be open on Saturdays and Sundays where they were previously closed. This will create 300,000 extra appointments.                                   Â
And in an effort to address the backlog more efficiently, DVSA has opened ten new temporary theory test centres, which collectively will create over 120,000 additional appointments each month.
