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 💪

📢 The rules for booking a practical car driving test are changing.

From 31 March 2026, learner drivers and approved driving instructors (ADIs) will only be able to change a driving test booking up to 2 times.

A change includes:
- changing the date or time
- changing the test centre
- swapping an appointment with another learner

If you’re an ADI, please make sure your pupils only book their test when they’re ready as swapping between pupils will count towards this limit. You can set times when you're available to take your pupils to their driving tests. This stops your pupils from booking tests at times that do not work for you.

👉 When this comes into force, everyone with a driving test booked will have 2 changes available, regardless of how many changes they may have already made.

This change is part of the outcome of our consultation to improve the way driving tests are booked.

Great tips 😊

🚗 The Night Before Your Driving Test 🚗

Please don’t spend the night before your test glued to YouTube, tik tok or any reels on driving tips .

You either have it by now or you don’t but that’s okay.

Watching last-minute “quick tips” will only overload your brain.
You have no time left to practise anything new, and that panic scroll will do nothing but make you doubt everything you already know.

The best thing you can do the night before?
✨ Stick to what you know.
✨ Trust how you’ve been taught.
✨ Drive like you have on your strongest lessons.
✨ stick to the tips your driving instructor has give you.
✨Don’t listen to anyone’s advise nobody knows better than your instructor! No time for confusion .

Don’t suddenly start driving slower or faster.
Don’t start second-guessing every roundabout you’ve mastered a hundred times already.
You’re not learning tonight you’re preparing your mind.

Get your documents ready, get an early night, eat properly, and breathe.

Tomorrow isn’t about being perfect.

It’s about being safe and consistent.

You’ve done the work.
Now let your training do its job.
