Driversity Linlithgow

The summer is nearing its end, but if you start learning to drive now, by Christmas you could be well on your way to obtaining your licence 🚗

I currently have limited AUTOMATIC driving lesson availability during the week.

Whether you're a complete beginner, picking lessons back up after a break, or looking for a new instructor, get in touch and let's get you on the road! 🚘

🚨 PLEASE BE AWARE 🚨

There is currently a page stealing driving instructors' pupil pass photos and using AI to alter them. These edited images are being used to sexualise young women.

This is absolutely appalling and should never be acceptable. The page has been reported multiple times, but Facebook has refused to remove it, claiming it doesn't breach their Community Standards.

I'm genuinely disgusted that grown adults think it's acceptable to create this kind of vile content, then leave disgusting comments on what should be one of the proudest milestones in a young person's life.

If you come across this page, please report it. The more reports it receives, the greater the chance that Facebook will review it again and take action.

Sadly, I now have to consider how easily images can be stolen and manipulated so will need to reconsider posting 'pupil pass' photos on my page.

Massive well done to Stacy on passing her driving test 🎉👏

You absolutely smashed it in EL Nostall 🚗🤍

Enjoy your independence and all the adventures ahead!

First test (and first pass!) earlier this week in “the big white car” aka EL Nostall 🚗👏

As of today ONLY YOU, the learner can book and manage your practical driving test (including swaps). Instructors are no longer able to even check test availability under the DVSA's new rules.

Have you ever seen someone overtake like it’s Fast & Furious? 🚗💨

Overtaking isn’t a race. It’s a decision that should be made safely. One wrong move can cause an accident in seconds.

Before overtaking, make sure:

✅ The road ahead is clear 🛣️
✅ Check other road users aren’t overtaking you at the same time 🚘
✅ Leave a safe gap in front of road users you plan to overtake ↔️
✅ Use your mirrors, signal, and glance into your blind spot 🪞
✅ Take extra care at night or in poor visibility🌙
✅ Give more space when overtaking cyclists, motorcyclists and horse riders 🚴

If the situation isn’t safe or the gap isn’t big enough, just hold back.

Don’t overtake until it’s completely safe.

Rushing or squeezing past can cause accidents.

Saving a few seconds isn’t worth risking a life ⚠️

We’re putting learners in control of their car driving test bookings 🚘

If you’ve got a booking or you’ll be looking for a test soon, make a note of these dates 📅

31 March 2026 – only 2 changes can be made to a booking

12 May 2026 – only learners are allowed to book a test and make changes

9 June 2026 – learners can move their booked test only to nearby centres

By changing who can book car and change driving tests, we’re aiming to reduce the re-selling of driving tests, giving the power back to learners 💪
