Bolton – Roundabouts

Situated on the outskirts of Manchester, we are Bolton driving test centre. Due to its location, a thorough understanding of roundabouts of all shapes and sizes is needed, as well as other road systems. Expect a deal with poorly marked open and closed junctions. The driving examiner from Bolton may even take you on a one-way road.

Therefore, to pass a driving test it is essential that you continuously watch all road signs and road markings. The residential roads in and around Bolton tend to be very narrow, so with parked vehicles on both sides of the road. It is essential that you are prepared to give way to oncoming vehicles.

Bolton – Fast Flowing Roads

Fast flowing ‘A ’roads such as the A666 and the A676 are likely to appear on the driving test. The driving examiner will be eagerly watching how you emerge on these roads. It is important that you build up speed to matter vehicles already on ‘A’ roads it will be highly dangerous to try to join such a road at let’s say, 30 mph when traffic on the main road is doing 60 mph.
