How to get started

  • Book a practical driving test with the DVSA. This will also give you the opportunity to check if our service would be suitable for you. If there is a test date available which you would really like, there would be no need to use our service. You can find the DVSA website here.
    *We won't be able to look for or change driving test dates on your behalf if you haven't already booked one. We can only change driving test dates to take advantage of driving test cancellations.
  • Let us know what dates and times you would be willing to have your appointment changed to.
  • We check the DVSA booking system for cancellations from 6AM until 11:40PM, 7 days a week, looking for driving test cancellations which suit your desired dates and times. When we find one, we'll text you the details.
  • All you have to do is text the word 'BOOK' back to us if the date and time provided are acceptable. That slot will be reserved for you for at least 15 minutes, so you'll have plenty of time to look through your schedule.
  • If you decide that any particular driving test cancellation time isn't for you, just ignore the text. We'll send another when a new time becomes available.

How do we find driving test cancellations?

How do we do it? Like any great idea, giving people the opportunity to change driving test bookings to take advantage of last minute cancellations sounds simple at first, but making it work became very complicated indeed. Essentially, we use proprietary software that lets us check the DVSA booking system very frequently, so we become aware of any cancellation driving test within seconds. Now, any member of the public can search the DVSA's website for this information, but how many can spend a few 24 hour days refreshing the site all throughout the day, hoping to find that cancellation before someone else does? For some people, it simply isn't possible to spend their days searching for driving test cancellations in order to book your driving test sooner.

We can, and do check the database very frequently. All day, seven days each week actually. When a cancellation comes up, we reserve it for our client - that is - you. From your point of view, though, it really is quite simple. You just tell us when you'd prefer to take your test, and we start looking for cancellations. As soon as we find one we notify you, and if you want it, it's yours! We book the driving test and you've saved weeks or even months of waiting!

Features you can use

 Text back to book

This feature is standard, we will automatically text you when we find you a booking, which suits your requirements. If you can text back during your work hours, then this would be the option for you.


 Auto-Book

Auto-Book replaces our text back to book feature. With this feature, we just go ahead and book the first available test within your preferences. This is for people who don't have the time to reply to our texts, or simply just want any driving test cancellation within their preferences as soon as possible.


 Day select

Everything about this feature is in the title, it's simple - If you only have time to do your test on Mondays and Thursdays, we will only look for practical driving tests, which are on Mondays and Thursdays.


 Auto refund

Our refunding system is very simple. If we don't find you a test within your preferred dates, your account is within 30 days of purchase and has had no error messages. A refund button will appear on the dashboard for you to refund yourself! If the button doesn't appear or you miss it, then you can send your request to us via email.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are you in partnership with the DVSA?

No, we aren't. Our test rescheduling service is for those who don't have the time to check for cancellations, or simply don't want to. People who work for example! We don't have any special powers - we simply check for cancellations up to every 5 minutes. This is our job, when you sign up to our service, you are paying for the notifications we send you. If you want to try and find cancellations yourself, then go to the DVSA website.

Yes, we can change the test centre to your original booking (test centres in England, Scotland and Wales), we search based on your criteria, not where or when your test is booked for. Therefore we can change the location of your test, as well as bring it forward or postpone it! What and where our system searches is decided by you via your account.

Yes, you need to have an active booking to search for cancellations. When we do get you a cancellation matching your preferences, you won't even have to cancel your old appointment - that all gets taken care of automatically. Maybe it will go to someone else who is eager to take their driving test! Everybody wins!

You will have to book a test with the DVSA first. We can change your driving test date, but we can't book an entirely new appointment on your behalf.

It's rare, but it's possible. If we don't find you a cancellation, you just take your scheduled driving test normally. If you fail, we can search again.

When a cancellation is found, we will notify you via text (SMS) with the date and time of the new slot. That is the quickest way to get the notification to you as you only have 15 minutes to reply if you want us to change your test (if not using Auto-Book), if the test found is not suitable, simply ignore the text and we will keep searching. We will confirm successful bookings via text and email. (We do not WhatsApp, call or email about notifications and can only text one UK number per account).

Really, your odds are excellent. Especially if you are willing to accept cancellations on less popular times and dates. For example: If you can only take the test on a Monday after 5:30 pm, we might have a bit of trouble. Just try and be flexible, and you'll be able to book a driving test much sooner than you might expect.

If you contact them by phone, their operators have the exact same internet access to the database that you do from home. They don't have the capability to continuously monitor cancellations for you, even if they were willing to. You might as well search the DVSA website yourself. But why would you when we can do that for you!

Well, you could certainly try. You'd need to spend an awful amount of time watching the website, ready to click the button before someone else does. It really is the kind of work computers should be doing - which is exactly what SpeedyTests uses. If you sign up to our service you do not need to waste time searching! (If you pay for our service, you should not use other services whilst using ours or log in to the DVSA website yourself).

Typically, we'll keep looking until we find you something. After all, that's the only way we get paid. If we have stopped looking, it is usually for one of these reasons:

  • The time for your original exam booking has passed - and presumably, you took the test at that time
  • The 'window' of dates and times you indicated we should search has passed
  • We discovered that a false or incorrect driving license or theory test number was used to sign up for the service
If it's none of those possibilities, please contact us right away, and we'll get everything worked out.

We use a state of the art software to check the DVSA for driving test cancellations. As soon as one is identified that fits the dates and times you have indicated to us, we text you about it or automatically book the first exam we see. If you want to change practical tests (the originally booked appointment), to this new time, just text back the word 'BOOK', and we'll change your appointment for the new time. Or pick a package which has 'Auto Booking' and we'll handle the whole process for you.

Waiting times differ from customer to customer, there are over 300 test centres with different availability and demands. (The pandemic backlog has increased waiting times drastically). We find tests for majority of our customers, on rare occasions we may not find one if no tests have become available during our searches.

Yes. You are allowed a driving test change (by the DVSA) up to 6 times per booking. If you need to change it for the seventh time, you'll need to cancel the test entirely, and book a new one. That one can be changed 6 times as well. You have unlimited use with our service.

Yes, you can cancel by going onto the DVSA website. However, if you do cancel, we won't be able to make a driving test change for a cancelled date. You will have to apply for a new test because we change driving test dates, we don't book them.

You'll have to book a new test with the DVSA first. They require you to wait 10 days in between fails for retakes. As soon as your new test is booked, we can go right back to checking for cancellations. Log back in, pick the dates/times which are convenient for you and we'll search for new dates.

  1. Your provisional driving licence
  2. Your theory pass certificate
  3. The correct vehicle for the test in question - whether that is a manual or automatic car.
  4. Confidence! Yes, if you're taking your test it's because your driving instructor feels you're ready. Relax, take a deep breathe - you can do this! Our blog also has some awesome tips for learner drivers too!

To get a full refund of the fee paid to the DVSA for your driving test, you must cancel with at least three working days (including Saturdays) notice. If you fail to cancel your test by this point - you won't be eligible for a refund with the Driving and Vehicle Standards Agency.

The practical driving test costs £62 on weekdays, throughout the day. Evening appointments (after 16:30) increase to £75. All weekend/bank holiday appointments also increase to £75. The fee for our service isn't included in these figures. In order to find tests for the higher fee, you must pay the DVSA for that type of test first. (We do not search for extended tests).

The least amount of days you can wait between two driving tests is 10 days. If you fail and need to retake a test, the booking system will only show driving tests and driving test cancellations no earlier than 10 days from the date of your previous test.
