DTC Cancellation Driving Tests – Theory Certificate Expiring
You may not be able to book a test with Gov.UK for various reasons. One of the most common reason is that your theory certificate is about to expire. If this is the case, there is still hope of getting a fast track driving test.
Firstly, you can book your driving test at any other test centre in the UK and then look for a short notice driving test at your local test centre. Even if you are unable to book at any other centre, there is no need to worry. DTC UK can still book you a last minute driving test. However, you will need to pay upfront as we will have to pay the DVSA on your behalf.
Last Minute Driving Test Cancellation Checker – Automatic Full Driving Licence
Another popular reason for not seeing any driving test date at Gov.UK is that the candidate already has a full automatic drivers license and wants to upgrade to a manual license. The DVSA automatic booking system will not allow a booking and the candidate will need to call them on 0300-2001122.
After you have called the DVSA, they will be able to override the booking system after carrying out various checks. Once these checks have been completed, a driving test will be booked and a booking application reference number supplied. DTC Driving Test Service requires both the driving license number and the booking application reference number in order to our cancellation checker to search for Driving Test Cancellations.
Cancellation Driving Tests – Test on Hold
Sometimes, the DVSA takes payment for driving test booking but can not book a test as no appointments are available. This could be for various reason such as theory expiring. The candidates are told, if and a driving test cancellation becomes available, it will be booked for them.
Unfortunately, the possibility of this happening is extremely rare. DTC Driving Test Services cannot search for driving test cancellation for candidates who have their test on hold. There are 2 options. The first is to ask the DVSA to a test at another practical test centre and then search for an earlier driving test date at their local centre. The second is to cancel the hold and request a full refund.
DTC UK will then be able to search and book earlier driving test cancellations to suit. As long as your theory certificate has at least 2 weeks left, our cancellation checker can guarantee you a fast track driving test.
DTC Short Notice Driving Test – Special Needs
You have declared a disability, your driving test may be longer than a normal driving test. Although you may not require the extra time, the DVSA will always allocate the slot of two test appointments. Therefore if there is a short notice driving test appointment, say at 9.07am, the DVSA will not be able to book it for you.
This is because the examiner will have another booking just under an hour later. This would not be fair if the disabled driver needed the extra time. In order to find a short notice driving test for a learner with a special need, they will have to search for 2 cancellation driving tests one after another. Unfortunately, the DTC UK cancellation checker will not be able to assist you.
DTC Fast Track Driving Test – Extended Driving Test
Sometimes, a driver is ordered by a court to take an extended driving test rather than a normal test. This usually happens due to serious offences such as the speed at twice the speed limit. However, it can also happen because the drivers have accumulated so many penalty points in such a short period of time. An extended driving test is almost can last as long as 75 minutes. The learner would need to book and pay for 2 slots.
In order to search for the last minute driving test, in this case, the learner would have to find 2 short notice driving test slots. This must be one after the other. The DTC UK Cancellation Checker may be able to assist in finding driving test cancellations for convicted drivers. However, there would be extra costs involved.
DTC Quick Driving Test – License Blocked by DVSA
Sometimes the DVSA blocks certain provisional driving licenses. This is very rare but is carried out in the interest of national security. A simple phone will normally resolve the issue. The contact number for the DVSA is 0300-200-1122.

A learner driver may cancel their test for various reasons. This could be due to illness, financial problems, or simply because they feel they are not ready. When this happens, the slot is released back onto the DVSA system.
