Changes to the driving test booking system explained ;
After 31st March you can only change or swap your test no more than twice.
From the 12th of May, only students will be able to book or change their test. This means that your instructor cannot do this on your behalf.
The reason for this is to stop resellers buying test slots and selling on for a profit . It will also stop some of the auto booking apps.
From 9th June, if you wanted to move or swap your test, it can only be done to your original location or a “nearby” test centre .
For Banbury the nearby test centres are , Oxford, Warwick and Rugby.
All these changes are to try and reduce the waiting list.
