The request is waiting for clarification. If you are Mick mchugh, please sign in to send a follow up message.

Dear Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency,

I would like to know please the number of category B “L tests” driving tests that have been cancelled on the day of arranged test at the time of appointment by the driving examiners own decision.

How many have been cancelled nationally.

How many have been cancelled across Lancashire

In particular how many have been cancelled at Blackburn with Darwen test centre
Commercial road
BB3 0BD

At the above test centre which examiners have cancelled tests on arrival

And IMPORTANTLY does by law a candidate have to arrive WEARING a face covering as long as they have one with them to wear for test.

Is there a set time limit for an examiner to wipe down the passenger side of the vehicle.

Yours faithfully,
Monty
