This is important. If you book a test too far away, just to get a test booked, you will no longer be able to move it to Redditch or Worcester unless they are one of the 3 nearest test centres to the one you've booked. Be careful with this and check the gov.uk website for nearest centres.

🚨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.

🚗 PLEASE READ — PUPILS & PARENTS 🚗

We understand how frustrating driving test waiting times are right now. However, we are seeing an increase in pupils wanting to take tests before they are ready, sometimes with pressure placed on instructors to agree.

We want to be clear:

👉 Safety will always come before reviews or pressure.

If your instructor is still:
🛑 telling you when to change gear
🛑 asking speed limits
🛑 talking you through manoeuvres
🛑 telling you which lane or exit to take
🛑 helping you judge space or positioning

…then you are not test ready yet.

Our instructors can only give honest professional advice. Abuse, threats, or pressure will result in lessons or calls being ended immediately.

Remember — when the test starts, it’s just you and the examiner. No prompts, no help, just your own ability.

Nerves are normal. Doubt usually means more practice is needed.

This is a skill for life — not just a test.

Thank you for understanding and helping us keep everyone safe on the roads. 🚗 Val and Lynns Driving School
