Drive with Drew - Gloucester

22/10/2026

Stop setting that painful 5:45 AM Monday alarm! ⏰❌

There’s a huge myth going around that you have to be glued to your screen at 6 AM on a Monday morning to grab an earlier driving test slot.

Here’s the reality:
👉 6 AM on Mondays is only when tests ~24 weeks ahead are released.

👉 Cancellations and earlier slots pop up completely randomly throughout the week, day and night.

Save your sleep, check in sensible bursts (so the DVSA site doesn't temporarily block your IP!), and always have your details ready to lock a slot in.

Save this for later and tag someone currently hunting for to change a test date! 🚗

🚗 NEW WEEK, NEW LESSON!

Every driving lesson is about building another piece of the puzzle — whether that's improving your control, planning further ahead, tackling tricky roads and junctions, practising manoeuvres or becoming more independent behind the wheel.

So, learner drivers…

👇 What ONE thing would you most like to improve in your driving lesson this week?

Drop it in the comments — I might even turn some of your answers into future In-Car Learning posts! 👀

Moving off safely is about much more than finding the biting point 🚗

Use the POM routine:

Prepare the car.
Observe all around — including the blind spot.
Move only when the gap remains safe.

Save this for your next driving lesson.

🚗 Asked to pull up? Don’t stop just anywhere.

When the examiner says, “Pull up on the left at a safe place, please,” you choose where to stop.

Use SCALP:

S — Safe
C — Convenient
A — And
L — Legal
P — Place and Position

If any part fails, keep driving and look for the next suitable place.

Save this for your lessons and driving test preparation.
