Let’s cut straight to the chase on this one.
DO NOT book your driving test through any third party. That includes individuals, companies, websites, or cancellation apps.
There has been information circulating about this for months, yet people are still choosing to ignore it.
The DVSA are actively cancelling tests that have been obtained through third parties and cancellation services.
Maybe you’re thinking, “But Testi only sends me a notification.”
The reality is that these apps redirect you to the DVSA website, and the DVSA can see where bookings have come from.
Everyone is desperate for a test date, a cancellation and frustrated by the waiting times.
You are no more important than the next person trying to get a test, you are all in the same boat.
The only place you should be booking a driving test or searching for cancellations is through the official DVSA website.
No shortcuts.
No third parties.
No apps.
Sorry if this sounds a bit harsh, but over the last few days my messages have been inundated with posts and messages about cancelled tests.
This has been widely publicised and discussed repeatedly by the DVSA, driving instructors, and learner driver groups.
Do not run the risk of being scammed, losing your test fee, or having your test cancelled.
If the DVSA cancel your test because it was obtained through a third party, you have no recourse.
No appeal, refund or special treatment.
You will be right back at square one, competing with tens of thousands of other learners for a test date.
It simply is not worth the risk.
