Investigations reveal a disturbing trend of individuals selling driving test dates through Facebook, taking advantage of extended wait times to charge exorbitant fees for early access.
The Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) acknowledges that the reselling of driving tests is not illegal, but warns against the exploitation of their booking system through automated bots.
Facebook users were seen offering driving tests for prices between 200 and 400, illustrating a significant imbalance between the official DVSA fees of 62 to 75.
An undercover investigation found sellers active on Facebook promising quick access to practical driving tests, revealing a system where offers depend heavily on the demand of specific driving test centres.
