Why? It’s about road safety!

Yes the theory test is quite hard but it needs to be for all the rules etc

Going to prison for cheating…..would it be worth it?

⚠️The weather can change in an instant — and your driving needs to change with it.

🌦️Sudden rain? The Highway Code says you should double your stopping distance and slow down.

☀️Bright sun can be just as dangerous, creating reflections and glare on road surfaces — make sure your sunglasses and sun visor are within reach before you set off.

🚗🚙And if you're sitting in heavy traffic, keep a safe gap to the car in front. It's easy to creep forward without thinking, but that space could be what prevents a bump.

👍A few small adjustments can make a big difference. Stay safe on the roads this summer!

Hierarchy of Road Users

This was the discussion four years ago.

What’s your opinion?

Has the policy been fully integrated get?
If you are a pedestrian and don’t drive - Do drivers stop to let pedestrians cross?
If you are a driver do you stop for pedestrians?
Have you witnessed any “near misses?

I am interested in your opinion.

New drivers can lose their licence if they get 6 or more points in the first 2 years. That means having to rely on others to get where you want to go again.
Keep within the speed limits. Keep your licence. Keep your freedom.

IMPORTANT DVSA UPDATE RE BOOKING TESTS AND BOOKING APPS

As you know, from 12 May 2026 only learner drivers have been allowed to book, change, swap or cancel a car driving test.

The use of any bots or automated searching of our service also breaks our new terms and conditions.

We've moved quickly to enforce the new rules and continue to do so. Here's what we've done so far.

1,178 driving licence numbers suspended from online booking
Where our monitoring detects unusual activity on the booking service, we will suspend access to book, change or cancel driving tests online.

We've already done this 1,178 times for driving licence numbers involved. We email learners to tell them when we’ve done this.

They will be able to call us if they need to book or manage their test.

Apps reported to Apple and Google
We have reported a number of third-party apps to Apple and Google for breaching both our terms and conditions and the platforms' own developer guidelines.

We are working with both platforms to have non-compliant apps removed.

Social media accounts being taken down
We are reporting social media accounts and groups that advertise services that are against the law or break our terms and conditions.

Platforms are already removing accounts as a result, and we will continue to report others.

Businesses continuing to use bots have been suspended
We have suspended 7 business accounts that breached our terms and conditions. They were (unsuccessfully) trying to book car driving tests.

We will not hesitate to suspend further accounts where we find the rules are being broken.

How you can help
As their instructor, you are often the most trusted source of advice for your pupils. Please encourage them to:

only ever book, change or cancel their test through GOV.UK
only ever pay the official DVSA fee - £62 on weekdays and £75 on evenings, weekends and bank holidays
not use any app, website or social media account offering to find or secure an earlier test slot
If a learner would like an earlier appointment, the only legitimate ways to arrange this are:

using the GOV.UK service to change their driving test appointment
swap their driving test with another learner driver directly with DVSA
Thank you for your continued support in helping to make the system fairer for every learner.

See what Adrian has to say about passing his test having had lessons with Aberdrive.

It’s worth remembering that the driving test is set at a minimum standard of driving required to be safe on the roads.

Many professionals believe that the standard of the driving test is too low for today’s roads and that this needs to change.

At Aberdrive your are not taught to pass to the minimum required standard. You are taught to a high standard so that you understand the demands placed on you in every day life on the roads these days and the consequences of getting it wrong.

What price do you place on your life, the life of your passengers, pedestrians and other road users?

Think above a scraped pass. Imagine going on test expecting to pass!!!

Learn to drive at Aberdrive and that’s what you do.

Well done Adrian another Zero fault pass rate (for those that don’t know the requirement is below 15). Image that in a drive less than 40 minutes long someone could be on the road having passed their test having made 15 faults in that time!

Here at Aberdrive, the average is just two minors in that same time!

Be sensible, learn to drive properly and safely. Learn to drive with Aberdrive.

Safe driving.
