Driving test

Driving examiners in Wales who are members of the Public and Commercial Services (PCS) union had planned to take strike action from 1:30pm on Friday 1 March.

PCS has announced that it has now cancelled the strike. This follows talks with the Department for Transport.

Candidates who have already rearranged their test for another date can either:

• keep the rearranged date
• try to reschedule their test for 1 March

The Driving Standards Agency is sorry for any inconvenience caused to customers who have already rearranged their test.
