Just used your website. I booked the wrong day... Doh. I was easily able to get a refund and it freed up the vouchers I'd used to use again so I could instantly rebook. I did not think that would work. Great job on the website 👏👏

so, it's now July 2025 and still no tests AT ALL are available (unless I pay a 3rd part £300, of course!
We know many learner drivers aren’t seeing the immediate effects of our measures.
Today’s announcement from the Transport Secretary could see thousands of extra tests potentially made available every month. 🤝
We committed to reducing waiting times. 📉

Two surprising entrants on HMRC's list of "deliberate tax defaulters" - people who deliberately didn't pay tax they knew was due (not because they couldn't afford it; because they just didn't want to pay it).
Late to the party, but that was a beautiful thing @VancityReynolds @RealHughJackman. Welshpool.... Love it 😂
@DVLAgovuk it is currently impossible to book a driving test in the city of Derby. Is there any plan to fix this?
I mean, it's possible to get a test if I pay twice as you're doing nothing to stop this crazy mess of a system e.g. testhunter.co.uk/
We can't compete with booking bots!
Seeing that van can only mean one thing. It's @AvolitesLtd training week at @DerbyUni. Of course, it's being facilitated by Rebecca Cadd, one of our fabulous BSc Sound, Light and Live Event graduates :-)
Hats off to @Adlib_co_uk for this video. It's a great account of everything that goes into a live event and includes lots of what we do on our Sound, Light and Live Event Engineering degree at @DerbyUni

Getting ready for a session with some year 9s today in our hemi-anechoic chamber at @DerbyUni talking about spatial hearing and listening through our KEMAR head and torso simulator. Should be fun!
This is a success. Only the UK press could paint it otherwise! Some of the best students I've taught have had a reset after losing their way in the, let's face it, Victorian education system we're currently stuck with. The story here is as much that, and that they succeed!

This is getting silly now. Leave his kids out of it, and stop blowing things out of proportion. There is bad behaviour amongst some politicians, but this constant pearl clutching at everything undermines trust to an unjustified and dangerous extent. Try reporting some news.
