GB News: DVSA provides update amid calls for stricter penalties for people extorting 'vulnerable' learner drivers
The DVSA is implementing stricter measures to address the issue of individuals booking multiple driving tests, which has led to concerns over reselling at inflated prices. A petition with over 1,500 signatures has called for a review of the booking process, highlighting vulnerabilities that allow for such practices.
In response, the DVSA has taken enforcement actions, including closing numerous accounts for overbooking and introducing new rules to ensure only qualified instructors can book tests. A seven-point plan aims to reduce waiting times and improve the fairness of the booking system for learners.

Le Monde: 'Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy': A rom-com's feminist revamp
The character of Bridget Jones, played by Renée Zellweger, first appeared in 2001, based on Helen Fielding's 1996 novel, which popularized the "chick lit" genre. This genre features humorous romances aimed at women and gained significant traction in the 2000s.
Despite the evolution of female representation in romantic narratives, including the rise of darker themes in works like Fifty Shades of Grey, Bridget's search for love remains a cultural touchstone, reflecting ongoing discussions about women's roles in relationships.
