The Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) has issued a warning to all learner drivers over the use of popular apps that search for cancelled driving tests.

People who have a test coming up are being urged to use only the official government website to book their practical driving test due to data protection fears.

The DVSA has published new guidance on booking driving tests and warned learners not to use unofficial apps to find earlier driving tests.

Earlier appointments are sometimes known as ‘cancellation appointments’. DVSA does not run, approve or endorse any cancellation finder apps or services.
