The DVSA and the mysterious disappearing driving test slots.
I saw this and thought what the fuck?
Now, I took and passed my driving test on the 6th May 1976. Booking a test on-line was not an option. I can’t quite remember what the process was, but I’m fairly sure it involved proving your identity.
So I asked Younger. Apparently, there are two booking portals, one for ordinary people, and one for accredited driving instructors. Somehow, the second portal has been manipulated, or used inappropriately, hence the theatre ticket scalpers version of driving tests, where slots are being offered for up to £500.
The DVSA are supposedly closing the portal, or at least introducing stricter controls. Yeah, ok but I wouldn’t hold my breath.
I almost feel sorry for the poor sod in the link, but my advice, give up driving.

It doesn’t amaze me that a certain demographic seem to be largely responsible for this scam but what I don’t get is what kind of twat allows them their access for what is, essentially, peanuts?
Get caught, and you surely will be, job and good name down the shitter.
