Want to use your own car for your driving test? It must meet certain rules first. 🚗

Faulty lights and indicators are one of the most common reasons driving tests are cancelled before they even start.

Before your test, check that these are all working:

✅ brake lights

✅ indicators

✅ headlights

If your brake lights or indicators aren’t working, other road users won’t know when you’re slowing down, stopping or changing direction.

Check your car before you travel to make sure it's safe and ready for test day. If you find a fault, get it repaired before your test.

Autumn brings more than falling leaves, it brings wetter roads too. 🍂🌧️

Wet weather reduces visibility, increases stopping distances and can catch even experienced drivers out, so it's worth taking a moment to make sure you're prepared.

Before you set off, check your windscreen wipers are working properly and make sure your tyres have adequate tread.

When you're on the road, remember that stopping distances are at least double those needed on dry roads, so keep well back from the vehicle in front.

Learning to drive doesn’t end with passing the test – and for many new drivers, the highest-risk period comes after they’ve gained their licence.

🚗 New drivers: two illegal tyres could cost you your licence.

This September, TyreSafe is reissuing its flagship Young Driver Campaign to remind new and young drivers that tyre safety is their responsibility — even if they don’t own the vehicle they’re driving.

Driving with unsafe or illegal tyres can result in fines of up to £2,500 and 3 penalty points per tyre. For new drivers in their first two years on the road, just two illegal tyres could mean 6 penalty points and automatic licence revocation.

Our research found that 52% of UK drivers aged 17–24 don’t realise they are legally responsible for the condition of the tyres on any vehicle they drive.

That’s why we’re encouraging young drivers to remember ACT:

🔹 A – Air pressure
🔹 C – Condition
🔹 T – Tread

Know your tyres. Stay safe. Stay legal.
