Post-pandemic surge
Learner numbers in Wales surged after lockdowns ended. DVSA has been unable to keep up with demand ever since.
👨💼
Limited examiner capacity
DVSA has a fixed number of examiners in Cardiff. Adding new examiners takes months of recruitment and training.
🏙️
Cardiff is high demand
Cardiff is one of the UK's busiest cities for driving tests. High population density means more learners competing for the same slots.
TestSwap bypasses the queue entirely — no new booking, no 10–16-week wait.
