预计联合王国的驾车考试积压将持续到2027年11月,平均等待时间为22周,比2020年的5周增加22周,原因是考官征聘不足、低薪和安全顾虑导致人员更替率高以及与大流行病有关的取消。 A UK driving test backlog is expected to persist until November 2027, with average wait times at 22 weeks—up from five weeks in 2020—due to insufficient examiner recruitment, high turnover from low pay and safety concerns, and pandemic-related cancellations. 2020-21年间,超过360,000次测试仍未注册,近三分之一的学习者向第三方支付高达500英镑的学费,使用机器人保障空位。 Over 360,000 tests remain unbooked from the 2020–21 period, and nearly one in three learners pay up to £500 to third parties using bots to secure slots. 政府计划从2026年春季开始部署军事检查人员,限制重新安排时间和地点变动,而2025年,国土安全部已经进行了数千次额外的测试。 The government plans to deploy military examiners and restrict rescheduling and location changes starting in spring 2026, while the DVSA has already conducted thousands of additional tests in 2025. 国家审计署敦促采取紧急行动,改善考官的招聘和系统监督。 The National Audit Office urges urgent action to improve examiner recruitment and system oversight.
