flag UK driving instructors allegedly sell test slot access, fueling a backlog of 640,000 learners.

flag Driving instructors in the UK are allegedly selling their DVSA login credentials for up to £250 monthly to touts who resell test slots at inflated prices, worsening a growing backlog of over 640,000 learners waiting an average of 21 weeks. flag A BBC investigation found widespread use of platforms like WhatsApp and Facebook to trade bookings, with some touts claiming ties to over 1,000 instructors. flag Despite being informed in February, the DVSA says it has zero tolerance for exploitation but won’t comment on specific cases. flag In response, the Department for Transport will restrict test bookings to learners only starting spring, a move welcomed by instructors who say they’ve long raised alarms.
