flag Essex and Thurrock have short UK driving test waits, cutting costs despite higher lesson prices.

flag A study by EzLicence finds that Essex has one of the UK’s shortest driving test wait times, averaging 19 weeks—ranking eighth lowest in England—while Thurrock ranks fifth. flag Despite higher lesson prices, shorter delays reduce overall costs, with one extra monthly lesson costing about £209 in Essex and £190 in Thurrock. flag Long waits elsewhere can add £1,000 to £2,000 in expenses due to repeated lessons and missed work, pushing some toward illegal test bookings. flag Experts recommend booking early, choosing cheaper weekday tests, spacing practice, and budgeting for delays.
