Can Driving Instructors Still Book Driving Tests for Pupils in 2026?
If you’re taking driving lessons in Wigan or driving lessons in Chorley, you may have heard about the latest changes to the driving test booking system. The Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) has introduced new rules that mean driving instructors can no longer book practical driving tests on behalf of learners.
Whether you’re taking manual driving lessons or automatic driving lessons, understanding these changes is important if you’re preparing for your practical test in 2026.
The DVSA says the new rules are designed to reduce misuse of the booking system, prevent test reselling, and help genuine learner drivers access available test appointments more fairly.
