Latest News About DVSA test rules 2026

Updated 2026-06-17 23:03

The May 2025 trial reduced stops from four to three while allowing sat-nav aided independent driving and emergency stop frequency reduced to ~1 in 7 tests, with impact assessments continuing. In 2026, new booking rules limit changes to up to two changes per attempt and allow cancellations up to 10 working days in advance, while local-centre emphasis and real-world driving conditions feature in updates. These measures are designed to promote safer, realistic driving and ease booking instability for learners.
