• This section is important. Please take time to read it carefully and do ask me if you are unsure about booking your driving test.
• If you have not yet read the other sections on Your Driving Test I strongly recommend you read them before booking your test.

It’s advised that you speak with me before booking your test. I can give you advice on where and when to take it, availability and how best to prepare yourself.

You’ll then be scheduled into the diary and receive priority bookings over regular lessons.

When booking your driving test use only the link below or type into your browser https://www.gov.uk/book-driving-test to take you to the correct website. That way you won’t pay extra to third party websites.

IMPORTANT

You MUST add my ADI (Approved Driving Instructor) number to your search.

This is 765402.

Your search results will show you when the tuition car/instructor is not available as a grey triangle and “Instructor Clash” warning.

Please be aware if you have booked your test without using the ADI number in your search I may not be available to take you and you won't be able to use the tuition car. In this situation I cannot be held liable for any monies lost.

At this time you can also state if you have a disability that needs to be catered for. If in doubt, please contact me before booking.

You’ll need to pay the DVSA the correct fee.

Weekday fee: £62

Weekend fee: £75

Extended driving tests for disqualified drivers cost £124/£150

Once booked please notify me with the date, time and location. You may do this by phone call or text to 07919 203370 or email lessons@driving-ed.co.uk

You may change your driving test booking free of charge with the DVSA. If you do please let me know.

You are required to give 10 working days notice to change or cancel a test. Effectively thats a fortnight. Working days are Monday to Saturday and do not include the day of notification or the day of the test.

If you are looking for an earlier test date you MUST ensure that the dates offered do not clash with the unavailable dates recorded on the .Gov website under instructor reference 765402.

If I consider you are not yet ready to take your driving test a month before your test date you will not be able to use the tuition car and you will be advised to rebook to a later date.

Changes to booking a driving test from March 2026:

You may change your driving test on 2 occasions. .

What will count as changes?

• Changing the date or time
• Changing the test centre
• Swapping your appointment with another learner driver who already has a test booked.

It is 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 are no longer able to book a test for their pupils, change a test or swap a test.

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.
