answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/07/2022 answer text <p>As at 8 July 2022, there are 22 people waiting to take a category F (tractor) driving test in the Scottish Borders.</p><p> </p><p>To accommodate the tractor testing manoeuvres, the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) conducts category F tests at the closest, suitable location to the candidate’s home address. The DVSA allocates the most suitable examiner to do this. As the test does not take place at a DVSA test centre, the examiner needs time to travel to and from the meeting point for the test as well as the time to conduct the test itself.</p><p> </p><p>The DVSA does not calculate an average waiting time for the category F test as the very low test demand and non-standard booking procedure for tractor tests could distort the waiting time, which would not be representative.</p> answering member constituency Copeland answering member printed Trudy Harrison question first answered 13/07/2022 09:45:10 answering member 4593 label Biography information for Trudy Harrison
