Unfortunately, I have no control over the specific<\/strong> ads which appear on the right of this blog. I can block an entire group (like pornography), but I can\u2019t pick and choose individual adverts within a group which I allow. One advert in particular has just caught my eye.<\/p>\n

Be aware that Direct Driving Tests.org is not an official DSA website,<\/strong> and they will almost certainly charge you extra for booking your test. I can\u2019t say that you would end up losing your money if you used Direct Driving Tests.org, but there are plenty of others who deliberately make themselves look official and who would<\/strong> walk away with your money. If I could block this particular advert \u2013 which has plagiarised the old DSA arrow logo purposely to mislead people – I would. This outfit has been slammed by the ASA<\/a> on previous occasions (they use various names to try and lure people in).<\/p>\n

The only site you should use \u2013 unless you really want to spend more money than necessary and even risk not getting a test at all \u2013 is GOV.UK.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Your car theory test should cost \u00a331, and your car practical test either \u00a362 or \u00a375 (depending on whether you do it on a weekday or a weekend). If any website charges a different amount, hit \u201ccancel\u201d immediately and use GOV.UK.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It would appear that Direct Driving Tests.org charges an additional \u00a323 to book your practical test for you! You\u2019d be far better off spending that on an extra lesson. And remember that if any company charges a similar additional fee for the theory test, you could get much better training materials for less than \u00a35 on your smartphone and less than \u00a38 for a DVD from Amazon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
