Driving Test Booking Changes From May 12, Key Updates for Learners

AI Summary

Starting May 12, learner drivers will only be able to book, change, or swap their own driving tests, eliminating the previous system where instructors could book on their behalf. These changes aim to reduce waiting lists, which have reached up to six months, and prevent the resale of test slots at inflated prices. The standard fee for a driving test is £62 on weekdays and £75 on evenings, weekends, and bank holidays. Additionally, from March 31, learners can only make two changes to their booking, down from the previous limit of six.
