New rules that came into effect yesterday regarding your driving test

24/04/2026

Some really useful information regarding overtaking.

Have you ever seen someone overtake like it’s Fast & Furious? 🚗💨

Overtaking isn’t a race. It’s a decision that should be made safely. One wrong move can cause an accident in seconds.

Before overtaking, make sure:

✅ The road ahead is clear 🛣️
✅ Check other road users aren’t overtaking you at the same time 🚘
✅ Leave a safe gap in front of road users you plan to overtake ↔️
✅ Use your mirrors, signal, and glance into your blind spot 🪞
✅ Take extra care at night or in poor visibility🌙
✅ Give more space when overtaking cyclists, motorcyclists and horse riders 🚴

If the situation isn’t safe or the gap isn’t big enough, just hold back.

Don’t overtake until it’s completely safe.

Rushing or squeezing past can cause accidents.

Saving a few seconds isn’t worth risking a life ⚠️

📢 Remember that from tomorrow (31 March), you will only be able to make 2 changes to a car driving test booking.

A change counts as:
✅ changing the date or time
✅ changing the test centre
✅ swapping your appointment with another learner who has a test booked

If you need to make more changes after you have used your 2 changes, you will need to cancel your test and book a new one.

A few changes coming soon being made by the DVSA regarding booking and amending your driving test that are worth knowing

We’re putting learners in control of their car driving test bookings 🚘

If you’ve got a booking or you’ll be looking for a test soon, make a note of these dates 📅

31 March 2026 – only 2 changes can be made to a booking

12 May 2026 – only learners are allowed to book a test and make changes

9 June 2026 – learners can move their booked test only to nearby centres

By changing who can book car and change driving tests, we’re aiming to reduce the re-selling of driving tests, giving the power back to learners 💪
