New driving test booking rules – action being taken by the DVSA.

Worth a read folks.

It’s important to note that some bots, cancellation apps, test finder apps, social media accounts, and businesses are now being investigated, suspended and/or shut down.

The above methods now breach the DVSA’s new terms and conditions and securing tests through these methods *could* result in a driving test being cancelled or not going ahead.

The advice is to book it through GOV.UK only. Currently £62 for a weekday test.

All the important new changes to booking and managing practical driving tests.

A handy guide to read through!

Please just ask me if you have any queries or concerns.

🚗 Learner drivers — important update about swapping driving tests

The DVSA has introduced new rules around swapping driving test bookings with another learner driver.

A test swap is not the same as changing your test date. It means you and another learner exchange your existing test slots.

Key things to know:

✅ From **12 May 2026**, only the learner can swap their own car driving test
❌ Driving instructors, websites or third parties cannot swap tests for you
📞 Swaps can only be done by phone through DVSA
🔁 A swap counts as **1 of your 2 allowed test changes**
📅 You must request the swap at least **10 full working days** before the earliest test
📍 From **9 June 2026**, location rules will also apply, meaning swaps will usually need to be with someone at the same test centre, one of your 3 nearest test centres, or the test centre you originally booked at

Before agreeing to a swap, please check with your instructor first. You need to make sure you are ready for the new date and that your instructor is available for the test centre, date and time.

Also, never share personal details like your driving licence number, address, phone number, email or card details with another learner.

We’ve put together this quick guide to help make the rules easier to understand 👇

If you are unsure, speak to your instructor before doing anything.
