****Changes to Driving Test booking rules *****
There have been some key changes to how pupils book a practical driving test.
Key Changes to Explain (As of May 2026):Only Learner Drivers Can Book: From 12 May 2026, instructors and third-party apps can no longer book or manage tests. Only you can book and manage your test.
Limit of 2 Changes: Since 31 March 2026, you are limited to making a maximum of two changes to your test date or time. After that, you must cancel and rebook.
Localized Testing: From 9 June 2026, if you need to move your test, you can only switch to nearby test centers to prevent swapping to distant, quieter areas.
Greenham tests can only be swapped to:
* Basingstoke (approx. 14miles away)
* Reading )approx. 17miles away)
* Winchester (approx. 26 miles away)
The rules for booking and managing car driving tests will change from spring 2026. Find out what the changes are and how they affect you.
