Post-pandemic surge
Learner numbers in East Midlands 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 Derby. Adding new examiners takes months of recruitment and training.

Derby is high demand
Derby 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 8–14-week wait.
