Not great news for learner drivers. As the wait for a test hits six months in some areas of the UK, scalpers are bulk-booking slots and charging more than £200.
A BBC investigation has uncovered that many are now turning to scalpers and paying hugely inflated prices.In response, the Driving and Vehicle Standards Agency has urged applicants to use its official website if they want to book a test.
In a statement, a DVSA spokesman said:"We urge applicants not to use any third-party cancellation-checking services and to always go through the official DVSA website. As part of the investigation, the BBC uncovered that it was able to bulk-book tests by pretending to act on behalf of a fake driving school. It found that little verification was needed to sign up, with no requirement for official documentation.
