Fall in driving test numbers
Recent Welsh Government figures show the number of learners taking driving tests fell by 6,000 last year. The report says the decline is due to the cost of learning to get behind the wheel.
Cost of driving too expensive for learners
The cost of learning to drive and owning a car is forcing fewer people in Wales to get behind the wheel.
Recent Welsh Government figures show the number of learners taking driving tests fell by 6,000 between January 2011 and January 2012.
The AA have blamed the falling numbers on the rising costs of lessons, insurance and buying a car.
The current cost of taking a test includes £31 for the theory test, £62 for the practical test and £50 for a provisional licence.
