This can be achieved by making the service available for longer hours, for 7 days a week, adding more instructors & centres & by prioritising the improvement of this essential service.","additional_details":"The current practical driving test system is broken. In most of the UK it is impossible to book a driving test within a reasonable time period. Asking people to go online at 6am on a Monday to try to find a test or book another test for 6 months time is grossly unfair to new drivers, mainly young people who typically need a driving licence to be able to progress with their careers. This limits young peoples ability to progress their lives & is compounded by the 2 year validity of theory tests.","committee_note":null,"state":"rejected","signature_count":9,"created_at":"2026-02-15T19:43:37.635Z","updated_at":"2026-03-10T14:54:59.739Z","rejected_at":"2026-03-10T14:54:53.081Z","opened_at":null,"closed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2026-02-15T20:17:40.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"creator_name":null,"rejection":{"code":"duplicate","details":"You may wish to sign the following petition, which calls for similar action:\r\n\r\nReview the driving test booking process, ban resales at inflated prices & bots\r\nhttps://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/736594"},"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[],"topics":[]}}}
