🎉🎉IMPORTANT DVSA UPDATE🎉🎉

DVSA ARE CHANGING HOW PUPILS SWAP THEIR DRIVING TESTS.

"We’re changing how learners can swap their driving tests

From 1 October, the process for how learner drivers can swap their driving test is changing.

The change will remove the need for learners to coordinate their availability and will make the process smoother and less stressful.

What's changing

To request a swap, the first learner driver will still need to call DVSA. The second learner will then need to call DVSA on the same working day to confirm they're happy with the swap.

We can only process the swap if both learners call DVSA on the same working day.

Previously, both learners needed to be available at the same time to make the swap.

Please make your pupils aware of this change.

Thank you.

Curious about what happens during a driving test? Here's what to expect on test day.

An eyesight check 👀
You'll read a number plate from 20 metres away or 20.5 metres if it's an old-style plate.

'Show me, tell me' vehicle safety questions 💭
You'll answer 2 questions about vehicle safety. The 'tell me' question comes before you start driving and the 'show me' question while you're on the move.

General driving ability ✅
You'll drive on a variety of roads, but not on motorways, including 20 to 35 minutes of independent driving, following either a sat nav, traffic signs, or both.

Reversing your vehicle 🚗
You'll be asked to do one of the following: parallel park, park in a bay, or pull up on the right and reverse 2 car lengths. Your examiner will let you know which one.

Knowing what's coming can make test day feel a lot less daunting.

Familiarise yourself with the test: https://ow.ly/p52350ZP1l7

We know. We know. It's still summer. The sun is out. Nobody wants to think about autumn. ☀️
But here's the thing — the best time to check your wipers, battery, lights and tyres is before the nights draw in, not after. 🔧
Save this post while you're enjoying the sunshine and your autumn self will be very grateful. 🍂

🌒👀 Today’s eclipse is the deepest partial solar eclipse visible from the UK since 1999.

With more than 90% of the Sun obscured between 6:17pm and 8:06pm today, some drivers may need to switch on dipped headlights to stay visible.

🌙 To enjoy the rare spectacle, we recommend pulling over somewhere safe and using specialist glasses.

An absolutely brilliant drive, only 1 driving fault even after missing your turn and having to detour along the A184 and around the Shell Redheugh roundabout you managed to keep your nerves under control.
A very well deserved pass after all of the hard work you've put in, Even travelling from outside my area by bus with a baby to meet me.
Thanks for choosing me as your instructor, its been a pleasure to teach you to drive. Good luck on finding a new car. Drive safe and enjoy your new found Freedom.

Changes to driving test booking happening today. ⚠️

From today (9 June), if you move your driving test, you can only move it to one of the 3 nearest test centres to where it's currently booked.

This is the remaining change we committed to make by the end of Spring 2026:

📅 31 March — test changes limited to 2 per booking

🔒 12 May — only learners can book, change or cancel their own test

📍 9 June — test moves limited to 3 nearest centres

Since 12 May, we've suspended 3605 accounts for breaking the rules and reported apps to app stores for removal. We're not stopping there.
