Bella Kidd from Ferndown expresses frustration over her son RJ’s struggle to find available driving tests due to long waiting times and the closure of Bournemouth’s test center in 2019. They searched extensively but couldn’t find a test in Poole, leading RJ to book one in Salisbury for June 2026. This situation adds stress and costs, as he will need additional lessons in an unfamiliar area. The backlog from COVID and increased demand complicate the issue, and while the DVSA plans to address this, improvements have yet to benefit Dorset. Bella fears the delays restrict her son’s independence.
