How the swap works here

List your existing booking and desired dates.
The DTC checks whether another learner wants your exact slot and you want theirs.
Both learners accept, then each calls DVSA separately on the same day. Wait for DVSA to confirm the new bookings.

Planning around Chippenham

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