IMPORTANT WARNING FOR LEARNER DRIVERS
If you are using unofficial driving test apps, websites, social media groups, or paying someone online to find you a driving test, you need to read this.
Since 12 May 2026, only the learner driver is allowed to book, change, swap or cancel a car driving test.
The DVSA has made it very clear that learners must not:
❌ Use unofficial apps or websites that scan the driving test booking system
❌ Give their booking details to someone else so they can manage their test
❌ Use people on social media who claim they can find or book earlier tests
If you are caught doing this, the DVSA may:
⚠️ Suspend your ability to manage your test online
⚠️ Restrict you to booking or changing tests by telephone only
⚠️ Cancel your driving test completely
The DVSA has confirmed they are actively monitoring the system and will take action where they believe bookings have not been made legitimately or where their terms and conditions have been breached.
Learners should remember three simple rules:
✅ Only use the official GOV.UK website
✅ Never pay anyone on social media to find a test
✅ Never give your booking details to anyone else
There are genuine learners waiting for tests across the country. The purpose of these changes is to make the booking system fairer for everyone.
If you know a learner driver, please share this with them.
Losing a driving test because of an unofficial app or scammer would be a very expensive mistake.
