π¨ ATTENTION ALL LEARNER DRIVERS: Major DVSA Booking Rule Changes Coming June 2026! π¨
If you currently have a practical driving test booked or are planning to book one soon, you need to know about a major policy shift.
Starting from June 9th, 2026, the DVSA is implementing strict new limits on changing your test location. Under the new rules, you will only be allowed to move your test to one of the three closest test centers relative to your original booking location.
This is a huge change designed to stop people from booking slots in random locations across the UK just to secure a date, hoping to move it closer to home later.
π‘ Our Expert Advice: If your current booking isnβt at your preferred local test center, make sure you swap it BEFORE June 9th while the old rules are still in place. To check exactly which test centers are available and see the full guidelines, search for βchanges to driving test booking rulesβ on GOV.UK.
