🚗 A quick reminder for anyone learning to drive or looking for a driving instructor.

If you are paying for driving lessons, your instructor should be displaying either a green ADI badge (Approved Driving Instructor) or, if they are still training, a pink trainee licence in the windscreen.

If there is no badge displayed, it’s worth asking why. Make sure you’re receiving tuition from someone who is properly qualified or legally authorised to provide paid driving instruction.

Choosing a qualified instructor means you’re learning with someone who meets the DVSA’s standards and is committed to providing safe, professional tuition.

Stay safe, ask the question, and make sure you’re getting the instruction you’ve paid for. 🚘

Is your instructor asking YOU to take on more of the driving? 🤔🚗

Here's our TOP TIP – get to know the M.S.P.S.L. routine! ✅

M – Mirror 🪞
Check your mirrors before changing speed or direction. Remember mirrors in pairs – interior mirror first, followed by the appropriate door mirror.

S – Signal ➡️
Let other road users know what you're planning to do. Signal clearly and in good time.

P – Position 🚗
Move into the correct position on the road to prepare for your turn.

S – Speed 🏁
Adjust your speed to suit the situation and select the appropriate gear.

A handy learner tip: walking pace = 1st gear, jogging pace = 2nd gear (when appropriate).

L – Look 👀
Check the road ahead and into the new road. Keep scanning for hazards before, during, and after your turn.

💡 MSPSL won't work exactly the same way at every junction or turn, but it's a brilliant routine to help new drivers build safe habits and confidence behind the wheel.

What helped YOU get the hang of the process? Let us know in the comments! 💬👇

We’re reminding learner drivers about unofficial apps and scams
As you know, since 12 May 2026, only learner drivers have been allowed to book, change, swap or cancel a car driving test.

The new terms and conditions for the booking service mean that learner drivers are not allowed to:

use unofficial apps, websites or services that scan the driving test booking service looking for appointments
give someone else their details so they can book a car driving test for them
We’re reminding learner drivers
We’re emailing learner drivers to remind them to stop using any apps or tools that search for driving tests for them. They must only use GOV.UK to manage their booking.

We’re reminding them that if they use an app or tool that searches for driving tests, we will:

suspend their ability to manage their test online – they will then only be able to make changes or book a new test by phone
cancel their booking
Our top priority is making the system fairer for all learners.

We are continuously monitoring activity and where misuse is clearly identified – including cases where a learner has not legitimately booked their test or where our terms and conditions are breached – we will take appropriate action, up to and including cancellation of the test.

We’re also reminding learners about the dangers of trying to book or get an earlier test through anyone on social media.

Help us get the message to your pupils
Please remind your pupils of 3 simple things:

do not use unofficial apps or websites to find or book a test slot
do not book a test through anyone on social media
only ever use GOV.UK – it is free and secure
We’ve published guidance for your pupils about this.

🚨From 9 June, learner drivers will only be able to move their driving test to nearby test centres.

If you book a new test from this date, you will only be able to move your test to:

✅ any of the 3 centres nearest to where your test is booked

✅ the test centre you first booked at on that current booking

If you have an existing booking, the new rule will apply to where your test is booked at on 9 June – not where you first booked.

Understand the “Highway Code” and “The rules of the road” particularly at roundabouts.
