Crackdown on Unofficial Driving Test Bookings

UK Gov

From today (12 May 2026), only learner drivers can book and manage their own driving test - part of a crackdown on exploitation by third-party services.

The Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) has introduced new rules for car driving test bookings, putting learners firmly in control of their own booking.

The change means it is now against the law for third parties, including unofficial test booking and cancellation finder services, as well as driving instructors, to make bookings for someone else.

It's also a breach of DVSA's terms and conditions for the booking service for third parties to change, swap or cancel a driving test for someone else.
