Editorial Policy

This policy describes the standards every guide on changedrivingtest.uk must meet before and after publication.

Sourcing

• Rules, fees, deadlines and processes are stated only when confirmed by a current official source: GOV.UK and DVSA publications for Great Britain, nidirect and DVA publications for Northern Ireland.
• Each guide lists its official sources. Where a detail cannot be confirmed officially, we either omit it or point readers to the official page rather than guessing.
• We do not invent statistics, waiting times, dates or "insider" patterns, and we do not present estimates as facts.

Independence

• We accept no payment from booking services, cancellation-alert tools, driving schools or test-preparation products, and we recommend no unofficial service that accesses the booking system.
• Every action on a booking is linked to the official government service, clearly labelled as external.

Review and updates

• Every guide displays its last-reviewed date. Guides are re-checked against their sources on a rolling basis and immediately when DVSA or the DVA announces changes.
• Errors are corrected under the corrections policy; significant corrections are noted on the affected page.

Writing standards

• Plain English, direct answers first, and only as long as the topic needs.
• Great Britain and Northern Ireland rules are distinguished wherever they differ.
• Author details shown on guides must be genuine; where details are pending verification, clear placeholders are used instead of invented credentials.
