<p>The Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) has put in place a number of measures
to increase practical driving tests. These include offering overtime and annual leave
buy back to examiners, asking all those qualified to conduct tests, but who do not
do so as part of their current day job, to return to conducting tests, and conducting
out of hours testing (such as on public holidays). The DVSA has also started a recruitment
campaign to increase the number of examiners. The aim is to increase testing capacity
and reduce the backlog as quickly as possible, whilst maintaining a COVID-secure service
for customers and examiners.</p><p> </p>
