Where these numbers come from
- Waiting times and availability — DVSA table DRT122F: car driving test availability by driving test centre, published monthly on the second Wednesday. Latest month in this dataset: July 2026. "Median wait" is DVSA's own measure of the middle waiting time between booking and taking a test.
- Address, postcode, coordinates and facilities — the DVSA test centre list behind the GOV.UK find a driving test centre service.
- Distances — great-circle distance calculated from the published coordinates. Straight-line, not driving distance.
- Known limitation — the DVSA centre list lags the live GOV.UK finder, so a centre that has recently been renamed or split may appear here in its older form. Closed centres are excluded using DRT122F. Always confirm on GOV.UK before booking.
