Happy Halloween from your local LDC driving instructor.

30/10/2026

It's Halloween, and we don't want any nasty surprises! 🎃 Keep your eyes peeled for any ghosts, skeletons, witches, werewolves, vampires, or cats walking around the streets this Halloween. Most costumes are dark, so children will be harder to spot. Slow down, stay vigilant, and remember that children may step into the road with no warning! Make sure everyone has a Happy Halloween. 🍬 For driving lesson enquiries, visit our website www.learnerdriving.com or call us on 0800 400 777 - we wont ghost you! 👻

CHANGES TO THE DRIVING TEST (from 09/06/2026) 🚗
From Tuesday, 9th June 2026, learner drivers will only be able to move their driving test to nearby test centres.
If you book a new test from this date, you will only be able to move your test to:
• any of the 3 centres nearest to where your test is booked
• the test centre you first booked at on that current booking
If you have an existing booking, the new rule will apply to where your test is booked at, on 9th June – not where you first booked. 🚗

Further dates announced for changes to the test booking system following the previous post on this matter.

Further changes to combat the exploitation of learner drivers by third parties have been officially announced:

- From 12 May 2026, only learner drivers will lawfully be able to book and manage a driving test.
- From 9 June, test centre changes will be restricted to the 3 centres closest to the original booking.
- These changes follow DVSA’s announcement that the number of changes allowed to a practical test booking will be reduced to 2 from 31 March 2026.

The Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) has today (17 March 2026) confirmed when new rules will be introduced for car driving test bookings, making the system fairer and giving learners control of their booking.

From 12 May 2026 only learner drivers will be able to book or change a car driving test, while from 9 June 2026, location limitations will apply when moving a booked test.

This follows DVSA’s announcement that from 31 March 2026, the number of changes a learner driver is allowed to make to a car driving test booking will be cut to 2 (reduced from 6).

The upcoming changes followed a nationwide consultation on improving the booking rules, are part of a crackdown on third-party services abusing the test booking system. They aim to reduce the reselling of driving tests and will create a level playing field for learner drivers, giving them more control over their learning to drive journey.

Any questions please drop a comment below.

Changes to practical test booking rules starting 31 March 2026

The DVSA have announced changes to the practical driving test booking system. One key change is that a driving test booking will only be allowed two changes (such as date, time, or test centre), reduced from the current limit of six. These reforms aim to make the booking system fairer and reduce misuse, including people repeatedly changing tests or reselling slots. Previous changes made to the booking before this date will not count towards the new limit of two.

Overall, the changes are intended to improve access to test slots and help tackle long waiting times. Speak to your LDC driving school instructor for more details. Further changes are planned to limit the geographical area within which a change of Test Centre location can be made - watch this space.

Excellent pass for Ryan Crowther today with just 1 teeny driver fault, so close to a clean sheet 🤷🏻‍♂️😂
Well done mate, stay safe and look forward to seeing you soon for some motorway lessons.
