4) Bad Weather takes its Toll on waiting times.
Bad weather has caused hundreds of tests to be cancelled throughout the UK.
From water pipes bursting in Test Centres to Snow covering some test routes.
With bad weather expected for the rest of the winter, only call your test centre if there is snow or ice in your local area on the day of your test.(the phone number and more advice will be on your appointment email or letter). The DSA have their fingers crossed that cancellations don't happen much more. The waiting list in some areas of the country have extended up to 16 weeks.
The DSA have produced a video (below): Driving tests in bad weather: what you need to do

8) Pothole problem 'worse in Wales than England'
Drivers in Wales will be more likely to suffer from potholes than drivers in England, says a motoring organisation.
The Institute of Advanced Motorists (IAM) said Welsh drivers rely more heavily on main or 'A' roads maintained by local authorities.
As councils are facing budget cutbacks the result would be poorly maintained roads, claimed the IAM.

A drunk father caught driving his four young children was one of more than 400 Scots who took to the roads while over the limit during the festive period.
In Kirkcaldy, Fife, a 25-year-old man supervising a learner driver was also caught while more than three times over the limit.

DSA motorcycle update: issue 23
Issue 23 of the DSA motorcycle Update is now available to view.
News in this issue includes:
Report of the motorcycle test review
Plans to trial a new, single, on-road motorcycle test were published by Road Safety Minister Mike Penning.
The Government has published plans for a trial which would do away with the two-part motorcycle test, bring it into one examination.
The Department for Transport hopes, subject to further work on safety, cost and value for money, that there would be a phased introduction of on-road testing moving to general adoption of the new test by the end of 2011 or early 2012. This will include on-road testing in priority areas which are poorly served by the current network of off road test centres.
