The town is mostly made up of residential areas with winding roads that make it generally easier to naviagte. The New Bury Road is the main road that connects Prestwich to the M60 motorway to the north, Whitefield town and Manchester city centre to the south.

As you will more than likely take your driving test in either Cheetham Hill or Bury. You may not have many opportunities to practice in rural settings due to the area being mostly built up.

We take pride in organising courses for all our learners. We want to help create a course package that not only helps you get better at driving and help you pass your test, but to instil good driving habits that will inevitably make you a better driver over the long run.

The first step to a successful course is gauging how many hours you are going to need in order to become test standard. The average learner will need 40 hours if they’re brand new but if you have had some lessons one time or you did some under 17 driving, they will all help towards in deciding the course that’s best for you. The best way to start is to call our staff on 0800 112 3515 and they will ask you a series of questions that will help determine the best intensive driving course in Prestwich for you!

When it comes to arranging your tests, if you need a theory test booked, we will book this at your local theory test centre before your course starts. Once you have gotten a valid theory, then we book your practical driving test for the end of your course. If test dates are experiencing a long wait, we will use a cancellation test checker service to find you an earlier test date.

As Prestwich does not have a local driving test centre, you will complete the majority of your course in Prestwich to become confident in controlling the vehicle and to practice on junctions, like emerging from t-junctions & roundabouts. As Prestwich is situated in the middle of two test centres, you may want to try driving in either Bury or Cheetham Hill before you commit to a local test centre.

Once your test has been booked at a test centre, you will go to the areas where your test is being taken to learn the local roads and junctions. Your driving instructor in Prestwich will know of all the “problem” areas where learners are likely to fail their test and advise you on what you should and not do.

The test is compromised of many sections, like the show me tell me at the beginning, indapendent driving in the middle of the test and then a manoeuvre which could either be a parrel park, bay park manouvre or pulling up on the right hand side of the road.
