Rejected petition "Stop Black Market Driving Test Slots and Ensure Fair Access."

Investigate and stop the black market sale of driving test slots.
Strengthen the DVSA booking system with anti-bot protections like CAPTCHA to prevent third-party agencies from monopolising slots.
Introduce penalties for reselling test slots and ensure fair access for genuine learners.

More details

The black market sale of driving test slots has created a deeply unfair and inaccessible system for learner drivers in the UK. Despite their best efforts, many individuals are unable to book a test through the official DVSA website because third-party agencies exploit the system. These agencies use automated tools to grab available slots, which are then resold at inflated prices, often costing learners hundreds of pounds.
