Tips to get an earlier driving test

When do cancellations get put on the DSA website?

We investigated this using the data we have from all our current and past customers. As you can see in the chart below, most driving test cancellations get put onto the system between about 9am and 6pm. Just when a lot of us are out at school, college or work!

If you're looking for a cancellations, it appears that significantly more turn up at the start of the month than the end of the month:

Is there a Cancellation 'List'

No- the DSA say there is no special cancellation list. When someone cancels their test, it pops up almost immediately on the DSA website, and then whoever reserves it first can book it. This is what gives our service such an advantage- as we check every 5 or 10 minutes between 6am and midnight.

Why is the wait time for my centre so long?

Quite simply- the DSA (Driving Standards Agency) do not have enough test centres in urban areas (e.g. London) to satisfy demand. This means people are having to wait up to 18 weeks for their driving tests at West Wickham, while those booking at Melton Mowbray can get a test in a week or two.
