Instead she has been left in complete uncertainty, still living in Wagga and without a licence, as all her plans have been thwarted by COVID-19.

The 24-year-old was meant to do the test to progress to her provisional driver's licence in Wodonga on April 1. But, a week before the exam, her test was cancelled.

She is now one 55,000 people waiting to re-book a driving test through VicRoads.

"I saw it on Facebook about a week out from the test that the centres were closing so I called to double check and a week later they called back to say it had been cancelled," Ms Richter said.

"I've already paid for the test, so the next step was just to wait until the centres re-opened."

In Victoria, testing resumed on June 15, while in NSW learner drivers have had to wait until July 1 to re-book.

On Wednesday, Ms Richter was finally given the green light to attempt her test next week.

"They told me cancelled tests would be prioritised but [until] today I haven't heard anything," she said.

Ms Richter had been planning to move in with her partner's family in Horsham and was to become a carer for her elderly grandfather-in-law. But those plans have now been thrown into disarray.

"If it was just me, it wouldn't be too bad just getting around [Wagga] on public transport but while my partner is working in Griffith, I'm here with my 10-month-old and I'd rather not spend too much time on public transport with him while the virus is still around," Ms Richter said.

"It's also not like I can stay home until it's all over. It could be months."

Ms Richter is not alone in her frustration.

Up to 1200 people have had their drivers tests cancelled across the region after COVID-19 forced the lockdown of Service NSW centres in Wagga, Tumut, Narrandera, Griffith, Hay and Leeton.

On a regular week, 4800 driving tests can be performed, but the RMS is looking to increase that to 6500 per week going forward.

But Adam Drosd of Wagga Drive Smart has questioned whether the backlog will ever truly be cleared.

"This is never going to go away. If you've got a four-month backlog with people still waiting to book, you'll never catch up," Mr Drosd said.

Currently, Mr Drosd said he had four students who are awaiting their tests, including one who booked two-and-a-half weeks ago and is still waiting to hear back.

"Some are very frustrated, but they can't do anything about it, no one can," Mr Drosd said. "I'm just telling them to be patient."
