• Driving Standards Agency chiefs look set to scrap plans to ban WV driving schools from reserving tests before candidates are allocated to take them.
Under new proposals to stop block booking tests from October, schools will be able to decide which candidate is ready for a reserved test on the day before it is due.
Most driving schools welcome the new move, saying it will give them back some of the flexibility threatened under the DSA's original proposals (CM 28 April-4 May).
The DSA had wanted to force schools to allocate a candidate for a particular test. And it insisted test centres would not offer any refunds if the candidate cancelled at less than five days' notice.
