🚗 Heads up, learner drivers! 🚦 Big changes are coming to the way you book your driving tests in the UK from spring 2026! The Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) just announced that starting March 31st, you’ll only get two chances to change your test appointment after booking.
This new rule aims to streamline the booking process and stop learners from being taken advantage of. So, use your two changes wisely—only for crucial needs or emergencies! 🌟 If you’ve already used your changes under current regulations, don’t worry; you’ll get two more come March 31st.
And that’s not all! Later in the spring, you’ll only be able to move your test to centres near your original booking. It’s a shift from the current flexibility, but the focus is on making the system fairer for everyone.
Need to adjust your booking? Here’s what counts as a change: altering the date or time, swapping test centres, or exchanging appointments with another learner. If you run out of changes, you’ll need to cancel and book anew—but act early to ensure you get a full refund!
Stay tuned for more updates as the DVSA will announce additional changes, like who can book and manage tests, closer to the time.
