🚨 Important Update for Learner Drivers 🚨
The DVSA has reminded all learner drivers that, since 12 May 2026, only the learner driver themselves can book, change, swap or cancel a car driving test.
This means learners must not:
❌ Use unofficial apps, websites or services that scan for driving test appointments
❌ Give their details to someone else to book a test on their behalf
The DVSA is actively monitoring misuse of the booking system and may:
⚠️ Suspend a learner’s ability to manage their test online
⚠️ Cancel their driving test booking
⚠️ Require all future changes to be made by phone
The DVSA is also warning learners about social media scams offering driving test bookings or earlier test dates.
✅ Only use the official GOV.UK driving test booking service
✅ Never give your driving licence details to someone on social media
✅ Avoid unofficial test booking apps and websites
The aim is to make the driving test booking system fairer for everyone and ensure appointments are available to genuine learner drivers.
