Changes to booking your driving test

· News and Availability

🚗 **Important Changes to Car Driving Test Bookings – 2026 Update** 🚗

If you're planning to book or change your driving test this year, please take note of these important updates:

📅 From 31 March 2026

The number of times a learner driver can change their test will reduce from 6 changes to just 2.

What will count as changes? Changing the date or time, changing the test centre or

swapping your appointment with another learner driver who already has a test booked.

📅 From 12 May 2026

It will be against the law to book or change a driving test for someone else.

Only the candidate (or someone who knows a candidate that requires help) can book their driving test.

When booking a test, candidates must confirm that they:

✔️ Are booking only their own car driving test

✔️ Agree to new terms and conditions

The candidate won’t be able to complete the booking unless they tick the declaration box.

Driving instructors will no longer be able to book a test for their pupils, change a test or swap a test.

📅 From 9 June 2026

Test centre changes will be restricted to the 3 nearest centres to your originally booked test centre.

Please plan carefully when booking or changing your test to avoid disappointment.

If you have any questions, feel free to message 📩

Jonathan 🙂
