Following my numerous pleas to students over the last few months to only use the official DSA Theory Test booking site, an advert that claimed a charge of \u00a331.00 but actually levied nearly \u00a350.00 has been banned by the\u00a0Advertising Standards Authority (ASA).<\/strong><\/p>\n

The ASA received\u00a022 complaints about the advert, saying that it was misleading both on price, and because it gave the impression the site was an official government theory test provider.<\/p>\n

The banning of this advert is great news for the industry: hopefully from now on candidates will only be charged the current fee of \u00a331.00 from the official provider.<\/p>\n
