After failing the written drive or first aid test three times, how long must you wait before reapplying?

When a candidate fails the written driver or first aid test three times, they are required to wait a specific period before they can reapply and take the test again. The appropriate waiting period in such cases is 45 days. This policy is in place to give the individual the necessary time to prepare for their next attempt, ensuring they have an adequate understanding of the material and skills required to pass. The choice of 45 days is a balance that allows enough time for study and remediation without being overly punitive, thereby fostering a more conducive learning environment for those seeking to be certified as qualified drivers for pupil activity buses.
