How long learners actually waited
Time between booking and taking a test for people who completed one that month. Half waited less and half waited longer.
Driving-test appointment availability and actual waits
Compare current appointment availability with how long learners actually waited at each centre and across regions.
Two figures. One clearer picture.
Median actual wait versus appointment availability
DVSA publishes both figures because they answer different questions.
How far ahead DVSA had to look
Point where at least 10% of weekly appointments remained available. It is not a live appointment search.
These figures describe different parts of the booking journey. Many learners may obtain an earlier test through cancellations or newly released appointments.
