Driving Tests

Asked by Shivani RajaConservativeDepartment for TransportTabled Answered 23 June 2026UIN 11486

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what offence is committed by a person who books, amends, cancels or swaps a driving test on behalf of another person; under which statutory provision is that offence created; and what the maximum penalty is upon conviction.

Answered by Simon Lightwood

If a person falsely asserts they are someone else to book, amend, cancel, or swap a practical driving test, they may commit an existing offence, and the case may be referred to the appropriate authorities. The Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency may also revoke online access or cancel bookings where the legislation or its terms and conditions are breached.
