Request

Please could you tell me: How many people have been sent home from driving test centres in Scotland between January 1, 2012 to date? In your response, please provide detail of why the driver was told he/she could not sit their test and also the test centre involved.

Response

The table attached at Annex A shows the number of car practical driving tests that have been terminated at driving test centres (DTCs) in Scotland between 1 January 2012 and 31 August 2013.
