Change gears by engine sound, not just speed

If engine sounds loud → upshift

If engine struggles → downshift

From 31st March 2026 driving test booking rules are changing.

Driving Instructors will no longer be able to book driving tests on behalf of the learner. The responsibility for booking driving tests will be with the learner driver.

Please check with your Driving Instructor before booking a test, they will know when you will be ready to pass the test.

It is possible to change driving tests 6 times at the moment, but from 31st March this will be reduced to 2. If you have to change your driving test more than twice you will have to cancel the test and book again. To prevent any necessity of changing tests please check with your Instructor that you will be ready to take and pass a driving test.

These changes are coming in as the DVSA think this will help address the current issues around waiting times for driving tests 🤞🤔

On 12 November 2025, the Secretary of State for Transport, Heidi Alexander announced the outcome of the consultation to improve car driving test booking rules. They are:

only learner drivers will be able to book and manage car driving tests
learner drivers will be limited to making up to 2 changes to their test in total (for example, one change (date or location) and one swap)
tests will only be able to be moved to driving test centres within a certain geographical area of the original booking 
These changes will be introduced in spring 2026.
