Driving tests can only be booked by learners from today, it’s illegal for a driving instructor to book a driving test.

From 12 May, only learner drivers can book their own tests, not instructors.

30/03/2026

📢 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.

Make sure you know what to look for to find an approved driving instructor.

Illegal driving lesson intercepted today in Bletchley. Student unaware but paying £37.50 per hour for an unqualified instructor. Insurance invalidated, 6 points for ‘instructor’, criminal investigation commenced and vehicle seized. Paying for professional driving lessons? Is your instructor displaying a green or pink DVSA badge in the windscreen?
