Re-selling a driving test isn't illegal but the DVSA said it 'exploits' learners.
"Dodgy sites" which are reselling driving tests to learner drivers for a profit are "unacceptable", according to the UK's transport secretary.
Delays are down to an increase in demand and learners booking tests before they are ready to pass, according to the DVSA.Many brokers use an automated software to block-book driving test slots on the government website and then sell them on. The government agency is advising learners to only book their test after they've had sufficient on-road experience.
The DVSA said it was using artificial intelligence to try to stop automated systems from block-booking tests, but admitted technology develops very quickly.
