About Book Driving Test.UK
Book Driving Test.UK helps UK learners get tested sooner: free instant alerts the moment a DVSA cancellation is released, plus the data that helps you choose the right test centre — official pass rates, waiting times and practice-route maps for every centre in Great Britain.
Who runs this site
The site is built and run by Mr. Robert, an independent developer. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to the Driver & Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) or GOV.UK. Bookings are always made by you (or on your instruction) on the official GOV.UK booking service — we never ask for your GOV.UK password.
Where every number comes from
| Data | Source | Updated |
|---|---|---|
| Pass rates (per centre, incl. history) | DVSA table DRT122A, Open Government Licence v3.0 | When DVSA publishes (roughly quarterly) |
| Waiting times (median weeks per centre) | DVSA table DRT122F, OGL v3.0 | Monthly, when DVSA publishes |
| Live cancellations feed | Newly released DVSA appointment slots we observe | Continuously, refreshed every minute |
| Centre addresses & test types | GOV.UK find-a-test-centre | Rechecked periodically |
| “3 nearest centres” switch rules | DVSA guidance on moving a booked test (June 2026 rules) | When DVSA changes the rules |
| Practice route maps | Reconstructed from previously published route data and instructor recordings, plotted on © OpenStreetMap | Marked on each map; illustrative only |
| Marking-scheme analysis | GOV.UK + DVSA DRT121E/F fault data | Annually, when DVSA publishes |
How we handle the numbers
- Pass rates are shown exactly as DVSA publishes them — we never estimate or interpolate a centre’s pass rate.
- Waiting times are DVSA’s median weeks between booking and sitting a test, labelled with the month they refer to.
- Where DVSA publishes rankings without counts (e.g. most-common faults), we show the ranking and say so — we don’t invent percentages.
- Practice routes are clearly labelled as illustrative: DVSA stopped publishing official routes in 2010.
