Rejected petition Stop Bots, and third‑party resellers bulk‑booking, and reselling driving tests.

My nephew who is currently trying to purchase driving test as well as other friends young adults are finding this impossible due to the Bots and third parties buying up the tests then selling on for extortionate prices £200.00 and £300.00. This is affecting their job opportunities and mental health.

More details

This petition calls on Parliament to take urgent action to stop automated bots, commercial intermediaries, and third‑party resellers from bulk‑booking, hoarding, or reselling practical and theory driving test appointments at inflated prices. These practices limit fair access for learner drivers, inflate costs, and undermine the integrity of the DVSA booking system.
