The DVSA has warned that those who are learning to drive and have a test booked may face disruption or cancellation as examiners take part in mass strike action.

On Friday, April 28, driving examiners who are part of the Public and Commercial Services (PCS) union are planning UK-wide industrial action amid rows over pay.

It follows two previous days of strike action for driving instructors in Scotland last week, and this upcoming walk-out is set to cover driving test centres all over the country.

The DVSA has confirmed that this won't affect theory tests, but practical driving tests only. The strike is likely to affect those who are sitting car, motorcycle, lorry, bus, tractor or any specialised vehicle tests, and members of the PCS union have shared that they'll be walking out at the following Scottish test centres.
