Learner drivers, including many here in North West Leicestershire, are being forced to pay hundreds of pounds for driving tests that should cost £62.

This sharp rise in prices appears to be linked to the surge in test swapping since the Covid pandemic. While learners often have genuine reasons to change their test date, the system of unlimited swaps has been exploited by bots and third parties that hoover up tests as soon as they become available.

Hardworking people who simply want a chance to take their test are being taken advantage of, which is both unfair and deeply damaging to learner drivers across the country.

Together with my colleagues, I am backing the Government in taking the strongest possible action to tackle this issue and bring test prices back down to normal levels, ensuring driving tests are as accessible and affordable as possible.
