Increase driving test fees to £85 to pay for more examiners to clear backlog
We think by increasing the driving test fee to £85 from £62 (weekday) / £75 (evening, weekend, bank holiday), government could potentially raise millions, train an extra 300 examiners and increase salaries by £8000 per annum to make the job more lucrative from the current starting salary of £29,000.
