The National Audit Office said there was a backlog of 1.1 million tests that were not carried out in the 2020-21 financial year because of the Covid-19 pandemic, around 360,000 of which had still not been booked.<\/p>\n
The average waiting time was 22 weeks in September, but at 70% of test centres the wait has hit 24 weeks \u2013 the maximum allowed.<\/p>\n
The average waiting time for a car driving test at Llantrisant as of December 2025 is also 24 weeks.<\/p>\n
Nathan Pockett, a driving instructor from Pass with Pockett, said he has known people to come from as far as “Penzance and Cumbria” to take their test. <\/p>\n
“I don’t think it’s easier to pass in Llantrisant – if they’re competent enough to sit a driving test, they are competent enough to do that anywhere in the UK.”<\/p>\n
He added that people “do come from all over the country because they think the waiting time isn’t as long”. <\/p>\n
Raj had driven his friend from Bristol to take his test at Llantrisant after his friend failed his test four times locally. <\/p>\n
“We’re hoping it’s fifth time lucky because we heard Llantrisant is easier,” he said. <\/p>\n
Raj’s friend did not want to be named but told the BBC after his test he had failed for a fifth time after his car stalled.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The pass rate at Llantrisant is 50.6%, slightly above the national average of 48.7%, UK government figures show.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":670757,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3,4],"tags":[12,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-670756","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-uk","8":"category-united-kingdom","9":"tag-news","10":"tag-uk","11":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115830183870706676","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/670756","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=670756"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/670756\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/670757"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=670756"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=670756"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=670756"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
