DRT1203 is currently missing a small proportion (less than 0.1%) of car theory test data due to a processing error. This will be corrected as soon as possible.

The DVSA have recently suspended non-testing duties for its staff who are qualified to conduct driving tests in order to maximise the number of examiners available to conduct practical car tests, and to further reduce driving test waiting times. This has resulted in a large rise in practical car tests conducted in the latest quarter.
