Driving Examiners Strike - 24th April, 08
Check with the DSA, but turn up for your test
The Driving Standards Agency is urging test candidates booked to take a test on Thursday 24 April to turn up, regardless of the threat of strike action by examiners
Driving Standards Agency’s Chief Executive Rosemary Thew said:
“Not all examiners are members of the PCS union and even if they are, we cannot be sure that they will not turn up for work . . . We therefore want candidates to attend so that practical tests can be delivered if possible. Theory tests are not affected and will be taking place as planned.”
If no examiner is available for a test, a new date will automatically be re-booked by DSA and the candidate will be sent an out of pocket expenses form along with details of the new test
If candidates fail to turn up they will not be able to claim out of pocket expenses if their tests are cancelled and they will need to re-book their own tests
“Candidates who turn up but are unable to take their tests because of industrial action will not have to contact DSA to re-book," said Ms Thew. "They should hear from us with a new date within five to ten working days. We apologise for the inconvenience this will cause"
Call centres and other DSA offices may also be affected. Customers who wish to book a practical test will still be able to use our internet booking service on www.direct.gov.uk/drivingtest
Further details about out of pocket expenses are available on DSA’s website on www.dsa.gov.uk
