From 12 May, there will be changes to how you book your driving test.

The changes are aimed at reducing long waiting lists of up to six months, and preventing slots from being bulk-bought by bots and firms who resell them to learner drivers at inflated prices.

From 12 May, only you will be able to book, change or swap your own driving test, not anyone else - including your driving instructor.

Under the old rules, instructors could book tests on behalf of their students, but this is now banned.

Tests already booked by instructors are unaffected.
