Driving test examiners strike.

Driving examiner strike: candidates urged to attend tests Driving test candidates with tests on Friday 31 May should still come for their test despite the threat of strike action by examiners. Driving examiners who are members of the Public and Commercial Service union are planning to take strike action on Friday 31 May 2013. The Driving Standards Agency (DSA) is doing everything it can to make sure that tests go ahead as planned and urges all candidates to come for their test as usual. You won’t have to contact DSA to rebook if you can’t take your test because of the strike action. You should hear from the agency with a new date within 5 to 10 working days. Out-of-pocket expenses You can claim out-of-pocket expenses if your test is cancelled, but you must have turned up for your test to do this. If you don’t turn up, you’ll have to rebook your own test and you won’t be able to claim expenses. Find out how to claim out-of-pocket expenses. Cancelling or changing your test You’ll still be able to book, change or cancel practical driving tests online on GOV.UK. Theory tests Theory tests aren’t affected by the strike action and will be taking place as planned.
