Taking your driving test in Preston
In the UK thousands of people take their driving tests every day and as long as when you attend yours you are well prepared and can drive safely then there should be nothing for you to worry about. At some point when learning with us your driving instructor in Preston Driving School will take you to the test centre in Preston so that you can familiarise yourself with the car park and various test procedures. In our experience we have always found that the driving examiners at Preston Driving Test Centre are very professional and friendly, in fact over the past 40 years we have had quite a few driving instructors in Preston Driving School that have gone on to become driving examiners and work at the local test Centre
