To support the government’s plan to tackle the current shortage of vocational drivers we are giving you an up-to-date picture of driving ability test (3b) availability in your area.

This week there are:

• 283 appointments in the Midlands

• 478 appointments in North of England

• 650 appointments in Scotland

• 797 appointments in London and South

• 78 appointments in Wales

You can use the trainer booker service to book these vocational appointments, which can be used for HGV, bus and coach tests.

We currently have 19,973 vocational 3b tests booked. There were 381 unsold vocational 3b test appointments last week.

We all have a crucial role to play in helping to tackle the current worldwide HGV driver shortages.

The booking service is constantly changing, so all the figures above might have changed by the time you read this email.
