The UK government has announced a plan to recruit hundreds of driving examiners as part of efforts to alleviate the excessive wait times for driving tests. Minister Lilian Greenwood emphasized that no one should endure six-month waits, and the initiative aims to cut wait times to seven weeks by December 2025. Critics, including driving instructors, express skepticism over the efficacy of these measures, highlighting ongoing challenges with third-party test bookings and potential exploitation of learner drivers. The plan aims to support more individuals in obtaining their driving licenses.
