The Best Time to Book Your Practical Driving Test | Autozone

If you're wondering about the best day and time to take your driving test, whether you've already booked it or you're still in the planning phase, you've come to the right place. We'll provide you with some insights to help you make an informed decision.

When is the best time of day to take a driving test?

The best time of day to take a driving test can vary depending on several factors. If you choose to take your test in the morning, you may experience rush hour traffic, which can add unnecessary pressure and potential distractions.

Late morning and evening times are overall better options as the roads are less likely to be congested with rush hour traffic.

When is the best time of year to take a driving test?

The best time of year to take a driving test can vary based on various factors. Looking at DVSA data for practical car pass rates from the last year, it shows that both April and August were very successful months for both genders. 

It's generally advisable to avoid booking your driving test during the winter months. While main roads are typically gritted, residential roads where you may need to perform manoeuvres might still have icy patches, which can pose hazards during the test.

Since you’ll need to pass the theory test before you can take the practical one, you should first get an idea of how long your revision time will take. 

The wait time can vary between 1 to 4 weeks so it’s best to keep an eye on any openings at test centres to give you a better chance of booking when you’re ready.
