Driving examiner strike

Driving test candidates with a test on Friday 30 November should still go for their test despite the threat of strike action by examiners.

Driving examiners who are members of the Public and Commercial Services (PCS) union could take strike action on Friday 30 November 2012.

The Driving Standards Agency (DSA) Chief Executive Rosemary Thew said: “Not all examiners are members of the PCS union. Even if they are, we can’t be sure that they’ll support the strike. So we’re asking you to come for your test so it can go ahead if possible.”

“We’re sorry for the inconvenience this will cause. We’ll do everything we can to minimise disruption for our customers.”

You won’t have to contact the 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.
