Are you familiar with the new rules for car driving test bookings? 🤔

📅 Test changes are now limited to 2 per booking.

🔄️ Only learners can book, change or cancel their own test.

📍 Test moves are limited to one of the 3 nearest centres.

By introducing these new rules, we’re aiming to reduce the reselling of tests, create a level playing field for all learner drivers and give them more control over their learning to drive journey. 💪

A massive congratulations to Hanna this morning on passing her driving test with 0 (not a typo, yes ZERO) driver faults at Hinckley test centre.💥👍👌
A faultless and perfect drive! As stated by the examiner. 😃🤯
Hanna did some tight town centre roads at the start and then moved onto some 70mph dual carriageways, expertly dealing with the m69 roundabout, other tough roundabouts along the way and some y junctions, performing her favourite reverse parking manoeuvre. 💪🚘

You have been an absolute pleasure to teach.
Wishing you many years of safe driving. 🚙🚗
