Saturday Driving Test after November 1st 2005?
If you’ve ever taken a Saturday or Sunday Driving Test since November 1st 2005, you could be due a refund of the extra fee you were charged by the Driving Standards Agency. A press release by the DSA says: “The Driving Standards Agency is writing to learner driver candidates who have booked practical driving tests on a Saturday since November 2005, to offer a refund for overpayment of fees caused by accidental overcharging and to apologise for the error. We are taking this action because of an error in regulations made on 1 November 2005 which had the unintended consequence of removing the differential between normal weekday hours and Saturday charges for taking a driving test. The refund offered is the premium paid for a Saturday test, currently £10.50 for a car test. An amending regulation has now been laid in Parliament to reinstate in law the intended differential in fees. The Agency is obliged to recover administrative costs through fees, including the extra costs of Saturday oper
