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.

The mix of larger roads including Hyndford Road (A73) with local roads such as Quinn Court, Robertson Drive, Whitelees Road, and Crosslaw Gardens makes it sensible to practise changing speed, lane position and observation between different road types.
