Major rule change for anyone booking a driving test in bid to cut backlog

One major rule change for anyone booking a driving test could be implementing a stricter cancellation policy. This would help reduce the backlog of tests by discouraging last-minute cancellations or no-shows, allowing more slots to be available for other candidates. For example, requiring a certain amount of notice for cancellations or implementing a penalty fee for late cancellations could help ensure that test slots are used efficiently and fairly.
