Signpost in Swindon showing the infamous and quite frankly bonkers Magic Roundabout.

For those that have been following the pain & frustration of the UK #drivingtests situation, particularly the inequality for rural teens, SWINDON IS CONQUERED! L plates have been yeeted, adult life can start, near-NEET* be damned, & the clock-watching worry begins again (3rd child.)

My ex passed her driving test in a short skirt, then crashed within a week (and a few more times!). Makes me wonder if that's a disadvantage for us guys, given the "men get preferential treatment" saying? 🤔 #DrivingTests #GenderBias #ExFiles #JustThinking

Why is the #DVLA allowing people to book multiple driving tests?
It’s casing a backlog of genuine applicants.
Surely all that’s needed is for the booking process to require your driving licence number?

The image has the text of a quote from PCS General Secretary Fran Heathcote which reads: "Our driving examiner members work really hard to keep our roads safe by rigorously testing learner drivers. Although we want to see the backlog reduced, safety, not the backlog, must be the priority.
