 Did you know that you can more than double your chances of passing by simply switching your driving test centre?

While it might seem logical, the statistics reveal that it’s significantly harder to pass your driving test in the bustling streets of Central London compared to the wide, open roads of Scotland.

So, what can you do? Practising in your local area is always recommended to build confidence and gain the necessary experience. However, if you’re finding it challenging to secure a pass at a busy city test centre, why not consider taking your test in a quieter area?

Find out how your local test centre compares and explore options that might boost your chances of success.
