Consultation on theory test fees
The cost of driving theory test could be reduced by 25% in plans announced by the Department for Transport (DfT)
This would reduce the cost from its present price of £31 to £25. There is also a further drop of £2 proposed in October 2015.
The question has been asked, should there be a lowering of the cost to learners or should as has been suggested DVSA improve their customer services and services in general with the £10 million a year that this will generate in savings. One area that needs a major overall is their computer booking systems; they appear to be constantly off line for routine maintenance. Private businesses manage their web content without the weekly down time.
Note: Consultation closes 15th May 2015.
