When another learner cancels or reschedules, that slot can reappear on the DVSA booking service — often for only a few minutes. Catching cancellations lets you move your practical forward instead of waiting months for the next open diary date.

• Monitor nearby centres — a short drive to another centre can unlock a much earlier date.
