Driving Test in Slough

The Slough driving test centre is located on Waterside Drive, directly opposite Langley British Rail station. The examiner will walk into the waiting room and call out your name. You will then be required to sign a declaration to confirm that you have lived in the UK for the past 6 months and you have bought a car which is insured for you to drive. The examiner will then verify the signature with that of your provisional licence. They will also make sure that the picture on the licence matches the candidate.

The driving test in Slough will start from the centre car park. You may be required to carry out the bay park exercise at the beginning of the test, even before leaving the car park. The drive from Slough Driving Test Centre will incorporate many challenging roads.
