The DVSA should continue its current approach of allowing driving instructors/schools to book tests. We think these professionals uphold standards, ensure readiness & reduce road risk. We think blocking them can force learners to chance tests unprepared, which could risk more road traffic accidents.

Allow qualified driving instructors to also act as examiners to cut test backlog
Create a unified Level 4 qualification for both examiners and instructors to standardise education. Allow instructors to test students (not their own) via a "local swap" system. This clears backlogs, ensures impartial assessment, and uses shared data to improve road safety and pass rates.
Fraud risks in driving test booking systems
Third-party brokers and bot services offer inflated-price driving test slots through unofficial channels, exposing users to scams, data theft, account suspension, and potential criminal prosecution. The DVSA is implementing new rules from May 2026 to prevent this practice.
Learner driving test booking change restrictions
From March 31, 2026, learner drivers and approved driving instructors will be limited to making only two changes to car driving test bookings. Previously more changes were permitted.
Review the driving test booking process, ban resales at inflated prices & bots
We believe the Government needs to find a way to reduce the backlog of driving tests. We want the Government to review the process for booking driving tests, ban the resale of tests at inflated prices and the use of automated bots to buy tests.
Driving test booking fraud and scams
Third-party brokers are selling inflated-price driving test slots through unofficial channels, exposing buyers to financial loss, account suspension, and legal consequences.
