An instructor has called for driving test fees 'to double' as way to reduce the backlog.
Some learner drivers are having to wait six months to bag a test with a study from AA Driving School shows more than half a million people are waiting for driving tests throughout the UK.
Speaking to BBC Somerset, Arthur Mynott, the Motor Schools association's South West chair said that is driving test fees were more expensive, pupils would 'think twice' about 'taking valuable slots'.
