How the swap works here

  1. 1. List your existing booking and desired dates.
  2. 2. The DTC checks whether another learner wants your exact slot and you want theirs.
  3. 3. Both learners accept, then complete the official DVSA phone process.

These larger roads make planning, lane choice and speed awareness useful topics to cover with your instructor.
