As with all major cities, Manchester suffers from high density traffic and congestion. As a result driving tests in Manchester represent more of a challenge than many other UK driving test centres.
The fast paced traffic along with complex road systems can often overwhelm learner drivers and as a result, lead to many test failures. However, good preparation is the key. Here’s some tips on taking a driving test in Manchester.
Experience
Gain as much driving experience as possible. Ideally combine professional driving tuition with private tuition from family or friends and try to use many of the complex roads and traffic systems located around the test centre.
Test routes
Examiners develop test routes that involve challenging sections. Choose a driving instructor who is very familiar with the test routes, particularly those tricky parts, of which there are plenty in Manchester.
Driving instructor
Your choice of driving instructor should be one that picks up on each and every error you make and not one that just goes along for the ride. See Good driving schools for further information on how to find a good driving instructor.
Test standard
When you feel that your driving is reaching test standard, take a mock test from a different driving instructor / school. Sitting alongside someone you do not know will provide a realistic simulation of the actual test, plus a fresh set of eyes on your driving ability may help to eliminate any weak areas.
