Do you also only allow instructors to use the online business service or are these companies allow to register as well? If so then they have priority access to tests which shouldn’t be allowed.

(1/2) @B7Driver Hi, apologies for the delay in responding. We have been facing high volumes of messages. Some of our test centres are fully booked at present due to the high demand for tests. We book 24 weeks in advance and release new test dates each Monday.

Testing is ongoing for drivers & crew of vans, HGVs and LGVs at 34 Information and Advice Sites. These drivers at the #ThurrockServices Site took their free test no more than 72 hours before their departure, and continued on their journey to France. 📍gov.uk/government/news/covid…

Drivers - you are responsible for ensuring your vehicle is roadworthy and even though there is an MoT exemption in place, there has been no relaxation on the legal expectation that your vehicle is fit for use. #ReadyForTheRoad? bit.ly/2LZy5yH
