You can book your driving test when youve passed your theory test.

You do not need to pass another theory test if youre upgrading an automatic car licence to a manual licence.

To pass the driving test you must be able to:

  • drive safely in different road and traffic conditions
  • show that you know The Highway Code by the way you drive

The national standard for driving cars tells you everything you must be able to do to pass the test. Only take your test when you can do everything without instruction.

Theres no minimum number of lessons you must have done before you book and take your test.

Change or check your test details

You can change the date of your test after youve booked.

You can check the details if youve lost the email confirmation you were sent when you booked your test.

Rebook your test

Rebook your driving test if you failed your test and want to resit it. You have to choose a date at least 10 working days away.
