Dvsa Reviews 

I passed my driving test in Luton 29/01/24 8am , my examiner Andy was amazing and made me relaxed. he noticed I started singing a little just to make me feel less tensed and then he had a nice conversation once a while which help. I will give him a 6 star. Thanks Andy

Going through small claims court and asking them to Look as a third-party at a video clip. That is one minute and 30 seconds long has taken almost 5 weeks to get a response back save your time. Pissed off is an understatement DVSA. Thanks for not looking .

I had my driving test today and passed first time with only 2 minor errors. Thou i was well prepared by my instructor, but I think the Examiner Sha of Bedford Exams Centre was superb. He gave me a welcoming, friendly enabling environment that sparkled confidence to drive drive like a boss. Sha is a fantastic Examiner. Keep it up

I had my driving test in Northampton. I was very fortunate to be examined by Michael, he was very professional, very polite and calm which helped me with my nerves. I passed first time. Thank you very much Michael. Wonderful experience.

I had my 3rd test with the same white person and he is very rude .. I guess his name Paul.. I can say that I made mistakes on my first 2 test but 3rd test I did everything good but he failed me and my serious fault is (appropriate speed). What a joke
He gave me 5minor fault for speed but didn’t mention for one time that why am I driving slow because I didn’t and he failed me without any reason.. I could have pass.

I had my test with Mick, he was very polite and made me feel at ease, he made the experience very pleasant by making friendly chat here and there, this helped to reduce my nerves and eliminate any pre built up pressure, this made the rest of my driving test a relief, thanks Mick S.

I have recently passed my practical driving test in Leeds with Learn Swift driving school, Abdul. Honestly I can’t thank him enough for all his help and support. Fast and reliable responses when requesting sessions and a large amount of flexibility. He has a unique way of teaching with a structured plans to your lesson. He does not waste any of your time I felt like I would take a lot away each time I came home from my lessons. Thank you so much Learn swift!

Just passed my practical driving exam in Tottenham, London with Mash. He was extremely calm and helped me with my nerves. Honestly the best examiner i could’ve asked for! Thank you Mash.

Just passed my test with examiner Ian at Kings Heath, Birmingham, he was really friendly and helped calm my nerves. Thank you Matt.

Great experience Darren made me feel very comfortable clear instructions thank you

Absolute disgrace of a test, failing young people for tiny mistakes, 17yr old been told by numerous instructors they don’t understand why he has been failed twice when can clearly drive and drive well.
Asking 17yr olds to keep paying over and over is a disgrace , absolute cashcow for bullying older people on a power trip

I had a wonderful experience with my driving examiner, Margret, at the Rotherham test centre. From the moment I met her, she put me at ease with her humble, lovely, and welcoming demeanor. I was very nervous at the start of the test, but Margret's friendly manner helped calm my nerves.
Throughout the test, she remained incredibly nice while also staying focused on evaluation. Her reassuring feedback enabled me to relax and show my full driving abilities. By the end, my initial nerves had disappeared thanks to Margret's professional but kind guidance.
I am thrilled to say I passed my driving test in the end! While my own preparation played a key role, I have Margret to thank as well for creating such a calm, comfortable environment. Her patience and encouragement gave me the confidence I needed.Her humble and welcoming personality shines as she administers the test. I couldn't have felt more at ease even while under pressure to perform. Thank you, Margret!

The DVSA deliberately avoid accountability. They are corrupt and steal money from the public by preventing learners from booking tests. Calendars are greyed out for months until theory tests expire, forcing customers to pay again to repeat them. The DVSA recently released more new rules to further extort from and defraud the public, introducing a 10 ten day rule, which they DO NOT abide by, meaning that learners who fail their practical test are not allowed to rebook again for 10 working days, yet after this period, learners are still prevented from booking. Now, the public are forced to pay extra to gain access to test cancellations. This is another money making scam by the DVSA. The DVSA also has a policy of refusing to respond to customer complaints for over two working weeks, further bringing forward the expiry dates of theory tests. This is also obviously deliberate to avoid accountability to antagonise the public. Furthermore, in another outrageous demonstration of their corruption and contempt, the DVSA enforce their unaccountability by rigging their so-called complaints procedure, since every escalation process has the same standard response at each stage, i.e. the Public Liaison Office specifically states that it has no powers, rendering their function as useless. The so-called "Independent" Complaints Assessor Administration,
Department for Transport has proven to be bias in favour of the DVSA, as a letter I received from them clearly states. It is also part of the Department for Transport, so it is pretty obvious that it is going to defend it's own corruption. In this letter, they state that "Learners who cannot find a suitable test centre have the option of choosing an alternative test centre. It is NOT unreasonable to expect a learner to do a test route they are NOT familiar with since they will have to drive on alternative routes when they pass". This contemptuous response from the ICA is a blatent defence of corruption since they know that learners are destined to fail their driving test if completed in another town/city they do not know, thus forcing them to repeat it again. In this letter, The Independent Complaints Assessor rather arrogantly referred to himself in the first person consistently throughout, eg. I, me, my, such as "I think, I feel, my opinion", demonstrating clear delusions of grandeur and ego. At every level, the DVSA steals money from the public and refuses to cooperate with the public to avoid accountability. Every driving instructor I have spoken to are also convinced the DVSA are corrupt. This is NOT merely an opinion. It is a clearly demonstrated `Fact' that the DVSA are corrupt and if the evidence were presented before a court, a judge would have to prosecute them.

They just failed you for stupid reasons and dont matter if you can drive or not, its a scam made for the ppl who pay 1500£ in driving lessons in that area memorising the street and don’t really care how ppl actually drive , its a complete scam

On the ground level, the examiners of the DVSA are professionals and courteous. At the higher levels this organisation is a complete failure. If you cannot meet demand for lessons and everyone is attempting to book a lesson months in advance, you are not doing your job.

Failing a driving test sucks, failing and having no idea when you might be able to take it again is unacceptable.

It shouldn't still be a problem 3 years later.

Come to test 20min earlier. Waited for 40min for test and in the end it was cancelled… had to waist my fuel and time… not acceptable….

Have tried for ages to book a driving test at my local driving test centre only to need to book at a test centre ages away, over eight months in advance because those were the only times available. Managed to book a closer test at a closer test centre only to have them cancel my test and move it to another date several months in the future, on a date I cannot attend.
Additionally, any time I go onto the website to try and book a test, I get locked out of the website. It's a miracle I managed to book one in the first place and now it looks like I'll be faced with endless cancellations. Horrible service and the people running it should be embarrassed and ashamed.

I had my driving license test yesterday and I my examiner was Mr Mal. He is such an amazing person and the way he conducted the test in highly professional .

I had my driving test today. I was extremely nervous, but I was very fortunate to end up with examiner Lily. She was very professional, made me feel extremely comfortable, and calmed my nerves. I wholeheartedly appreciate her and her expertise in conducting my driving test. Thank you.

Examiner MAL was very professional and conducted the test in a very efficient way. He understood nerves and gave useful advice at the end of the test.
