DVSA increases lorry driver testing by 74%

The Department for Transport has today (11 August 2022) published the official driving test statistics for January 2022 to March 2022. 

The data shows that vocational tests increased by 74% between 1 January 2022 and 31 March 2022 compared to the same period in 2020. 

Thank you for your support

DVSA would not have been able to increase the number of tests without the support and help of you and our vocational examiners.

Either through becoming approved to offer off-road tests which allows us to offer more on road tests or by continuing to provide high quality training to your pupils and preparing them for their tests.  

The work is not finished yet and we will continue to work with you to help get more qualified HGV drivers on the roads and keep the wheels of our economy turning.
