Brilliant 1st time pass with the lovely Charlotte (Charlie) Bulpitt this morning in Wi******er with 5 d/f.
I've known Charlie since she was a babe in arms.
Charlie started lessons with me a while ago and stopped to have more experience on the road with her Dad Miles in his car. After changing her test we started lessons up again and after a couple of mock tests I knew she was ready.
This morning she went out and smashed her test.
We have had a lot of fun on Charlie's lessons with reminiscing on her childhood etc.

It has been an absolute pleasure teaching Charlie to reach her goal today.
Good luck with your car search, drive and stay safe.

He finally did it!
Please congratulate Sam Quin on passing his driving test this morning in Salisbury with just 1 d/f. It has been a bit of a long journey with our Sam, bless him, he finally got it done today. Sam has put a lot of hard work in to get everything right and listening to me as well as having lots of independent driving practice with his mum Kerry and his Grandad.
It has been an absolute pleasure to teach Sam to reach hisgoaltoday. Just to say it doesn't matter how long it takes as long as we get there in the end.
Well done Sam!

Thank you for my lovely flowers 💐

Final ee Focused Intensives Ltd Meet the Instructor

Rachel Hicks Automatic - Covering Wi******er, Salisbury and surrounding areas.

With nearly two decades of experience in driver education, I began my training to become a driving instructor in 2006 and qualified in December 2007. Since then, I have built a rewarding and successful career dedicated to helping learners of all ages, abilities, and backgrounds achieve confidence and success on the road.
My journey began with BSM, before joining the AA in 2010. In 2012, I became an independent driving instructor, allowing me to further develop a personalised and supportive approach to teaching. In addition to teaching learner drivers, I also specialise in training future driving instructors, supporting the next generation of professionals entering the industry.
Throughout my career, I have taken great pride in supporting my own family alongside my professional achievements, including helping my children with their additional educational needs and sponsoring my daughter during her time representing England in international table tennis.
As a mainly part-time instructor, I now focus primarily on intensive driving courses, working in partnership with Final ee Focused Intensives Ltd, a role I thoroughly enjoy. My passion lies in helping learners succeed through focused, confidence-building tuition tailored to their individual needs.
I am proud to have received several awards for my driving school, most recently being honoured with the prestigious Inspirational Women in Business Award, recognising both my professional dedication and impact within the industry.
Next year, I celebrate 20 years as a qualified driving instructor, and I continue to truly love the career I have built.
Outside of work, I enjoy spending quality time with my grandchildren and family, playing golf, and making the most of the countryside.

Car driving tests

Changes to driving test booking rules in 2026

Page summary:
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.

Change made:
Added clarification that changing multiple details at once (such as date and test centre together) counts as one change. This is in the ‘What will count as changes’ section.

Time updated:
12:30pm, 19 February 2026

If you change more than one thing at the same time (for example, the date and test centre together), this still counts as one change.

Example

If you change your test from Northampton on 4 June to Kettering on 12 May, this counts as one change

If you need to make more changes

If you need to make more changes after you have used your 2 changes, you will have to cancel your test and book a new one.

You will get a full refund if you do it at least 10 full working days’ before the test date.

Change your driving test appointment.

How driving instructors can manage their availability

Driving instructors can use the online service to manage when they are available to take their pupils for driving tests.

They can set:

morning and afternoon hours they are available for each day of the week

one-off times they are unavailable - for example, when they are on holiday

how long (in minutes) they need between one test ending and the next one starting

This means that if a learner driver adds their driving instructor’s personal reference number to their booking, the booking system will automatically check if their instructor is available.

What will happen next

The Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) will contact you using the email address you gave when you booked your test to tell you what to do.
