Important Update: New Driving Test Booking Rules π
βI have some great news regarding how driving tests are booked. Starting today, May 12th, the system is moving to a "self-service only" model to make things fairer for everyone.
βWhat you need to know:
βYouβre in control: From now on, you are the only person who can book, change, or swap your driving test.
βNo more resellers: Third-party websites have been charging anywhere from Β£300 to Β£500 for early slots. These new rules are designed to shut those services down and stop people from being overcharged.
βInstructor updates: Even as an instructor, I can no longer book or manage tests for my students through the OBS system. This ensures that every learner has the same fair shot at the available dates.
βThis is a long-overdue change that should make the process much more transparent and affordable for all of us. Going forward, please make sure to handle all your bookings directly through the official site.
