This smile says it all, massive congratulations to Effie who passed her driving test this lunchtime, Effie you have given it your all & I am so proud of you for not letting those nerves get the better of you. You did it, I hope to see you driving the little red car around once you get used to that manual handbrake 😬 you will be fine, put that music on & sing away.

DVSA is 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.

DVSA 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.

Thank you

🌟FIRST TIME PASS 🌟Huge congratulations goes this morning to Kyra who passed her test first time, with only a handful of faults, Kyra had driven before when she met me & so just needed to get back into driving again & tidy up some of those manoeuvres & mirrors which she did perfectly today. Stay safe

Today marks 30 years of the theory test. 🎉

On 1 July 1996, a separate written theory test was introduced, replacing Highway Code questions that had previously been asked during the practical driving test. 📝

3 decades on, it remains a vital part of the driver testing and training regime and makes sure that people have the theory they need to drive safely and responsibly. ✅

Do you remember taking your theory test? 🤔

Huge congratulations goes to Matthew who had the first test of the day at 07.03 this morning & passed. Matthew has been a natural right from the start & we bought his test forward by 2 months as he has had lots of outside practice from (Mum & Dad) which has made him a safe driver & with only a few minors he smashed it this morning. I wish you well for the future with Uni, football & refereeing. Stay safe.
