Wetherby does not have its own driving test centre, so you will need to travel to a nearby town to take your driving test. The closest test centres are located in York and Leeds. Although these centres are a bit farther from Wetherby, your instructor will ensure you are familiar with the routes and will take you to these locations for your test. This way, you can be well-prepared and confident on the day of your exam.

Wetherby does not have its own theory test centre, so you will need to travel to the nearest test centre in York.

Booking a practical test is impossible until you have passed your theory test, which is why taking the theory test is very important.

While it is ideal to pass your theory test beforehand, we welcome learners who have not yet passed their theory test with all our driving courses in Wetherby. We believe the theory test is just as crucial as the practical test, and we are here to support you through both parts of your driving journey.
