A Massive Well Done To Emily Who Passed Her Driving Test At the First Attempt This Morning!🚗

⭐️First Time Pass!⭐️

A Huge Congratulations To Finn Who Passed His Driving Test At the First Attempt This Morning!🚗

Finn had been on and off with lessons over the last couple of years before he came to me. He worked really hard over the last few weeks since returning from University. He has taken everything on board and it was great to see his confidence and ability increase in such a short amount of time.

Well done! 👏
Enjoy driving yourself on your climbing and walking adventures🧗‍♂️🏔

Now for me to get your brother passed🚘

All driving instructors received an email today from the DVSA regarding the use of test booking apps.

I’ve wrapped up the key points below.

Share share share!

🚦As a Driving Instructor registered with Derbyshire County council to conduct these assessments, I highly recommend them.

🚦Whether its to get a few pointers or just a confidence boost that your driving hasn't deteriorated with age, each person I have conducted them for has found them very beneficial.

Would you like to update your driving knowledge or do you know someone who might? There are still places available on our ‘driving safer for longer’ online courses for over 50s in June and July.
Some of the feedback we've had from people who've attended:
🗣️“A very well worth while course, I had no idea what content to expect beforehand, but I found your content of great value”.
🗣️“I found the course very useful and informative, I’ve already recommended it to a friend”.

DVSA EMAIL: UPDATE RE: Tests: New Driving Test Booking Rules: Action We're Taking

As you know, from 12 May 2026 only learner drivers have been allowed to book, change, swap or cancel a car driving test.

The use of any bots or automated searching of our service also breaks our new terms and conditions.

We've moved quickly to enforce the new rules and continue to do so. Here's what we've done so far.

1,178 driving licence numbers suspended from online booking

Where our monitoring detects unusual activity on the booking service, we will suspend access to book, change or cancel driving tests online.

We’ve already done this 1,178 times for driving licence numbers involved. We email learners to tell them when we’ve done this.

They will be able to call us if they need to book or manage their test.

Apps reported to Apple and Google

We have reported a number of third-party apps to Apple and Google for breaching both our terms and conditions and the platforms' own developer guidelines.

We are working with both platforms to have non-compliant apps removed.

Social media accounts being taken down

We are reporting social media accounts and groups that advertise services that are against the law or break our terms and conditions.

Platforms are already removing accounts as a result, and we will continue to report others.

Businesses continuing to use bots have been suspended

We have suspended 7 business accounts that breached our terms and conditions. They were (unsuccessfully) trying to book car driving tests.

We will not hesitate to suspend further accounts where we find the rules are being broken.

How you can help

As their instructor, you are often the most trusted source of advice for your pupils. Please encourage them to:

• only ever book, change or cancel their test through GOV.UK

• only ever pay the official DVSA fee - £62 on weekdays and £75 on evenings, weekends and bank holidays

• not use any app, website or social media account offering to find or secure an earlier test slot

If a learner would like an earlier appointment, the only legitimate ways to arrange this are:

• using the GOV.UK service to change their driving test appointment

• swap their driving test with another learner driver directly with DVSA

Thank you for your continued support in helping to make the system fairer for every learner.

Its always nice to receive even a small amount of feedback like this😊

Its part of what makes being an ADI so worthwhile knowing that pupils (and parents in this case) enjoy the learning process and appreciate what we do each lesson.🚗
