📋 Test Day Reminder 📋

Before you start your test, remember these three things:

1️⃣ Breathe. Seriously. Deep breaths calm your nervous system and help you think clearly.

2️⃣ Drive like you're in a lesson. Pretend your examiner is your instructor. You've done this hundreds of times.

3️⃣ One maneuver at a time. Don't think about the whole test. Just focus on what's right in front of you.

You've trained for this moment. Trust your training. Trust yourself.

Good luck! You're going to do great!🚗🚙

The top ten faults

Message from the DVSA

We’re putting learners in control of their car driving test bookings 🚘

If you’ve got a booking or you’ll be looking for a test soon, make a note of these dates 📅

31 March 2026 – only 2 changes can be made to a booking

12 May 2026 – only learners are allowed to book a test and make changes

9 June 2026 – learners can move their booked test only to nearby centres

By changing who can book car and change driving tests, we’re aiming to reduce the re-selling of driving tests, giving the power back to learners 💪

The rules for booking and managing car driving tests will change from spring 2026. Find out what the changes are and how they affect you.

🚗 PLEASE READ — PUPILS & PARENTS - The Driving Test 🚗

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 your instructor to agree.

We want to be clear:

👉 Safety will always come before reviews or pressure.

If your instructor is still:

🛑 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.

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. 🚗

Stay Safe.
