As far back, would-be young drivers were voicing their complaints about the long wait for driving tests, a situation which hasn't improved much since.
Some of the pictures show campaigners around driving tests, with one mum who wanted to make first aid training part of the test and a driving instructor who wanted to see a year of compulsory lessons before a candidate was able to sit (or drive) the test.
Take a look back through this nostalgic picture gallery of driving tests in Oxfordshire over the years.
