THE DRIVING TEST IN Paisley

Located on the edge of Paisley, the driving test from Paisley Driving Test Centre will feature many diverse roads and traffic systems. Rural country roads are often taken along with high speed ‘A’ roads such as the A737 dual carriageway.

Driving in Paisley itself will feature various traffic systems such as roundabouts of all types and size, junctions and crossroads. Quiet residential streets are often used for test manoeuvre purposes and to test your ability for meeting oncoming traffic in often narrow lanes.

This often involves passing parked cars whilst dealing with oncoming vehicles. One test manoeuvre will be requested by the examiner along with the emergency stop having a 1-in-3 possibility.

Test centre routes are designed by the examiners who conduct practical tests at their local test centre. The routes are designed in such a way so to involve as many diverse roads and traffic systems as possible, often including very challenging parts. Gaining knowledge of the test routes provides valuable insight into the type of roads that will be taken during your test. Driving test routes may be available to view or a downloadable app for your mobile device in your area, including Paisley Driving Test Centre.

I had my test there today and I am bad at remembering names but the woman who took me out was amazing to me and so nice. I was nervous about my test and she really did make me forget and it really helped me. I passed first time with only one minor fault. Thank you for making the test a good experience for me as it helped me pass.

Daughter has failed twice with a few minors and a so called serious.. one of these was not getting over to left hand lane quick enough after coming round a roundabout? What does that mean? And the examiners are not consistent in what they deem as minors. Why is the standard not consistent with all examiners.. my daughter is really confused as am I.. just need to be fair..

Complete incompetence from test examiners, formal report has been issued to DVSA. Would not recommend taking your test here. Failed for a 'SERIOUS' that seriously wasn't dangerous in any way. Will keep my details private but will be following up on this complaint thoroughly. Showed my instructor I was clearly A competent driver and failed me for the pettiest of reasons.

Sick of the driving instructors failing my son with only one or two minors and a so called serious that is'nt really a serious according to his instructor. My sons instructor has said he is one of the safest candidates and shocked each time he fails, and i feel likewise when i see so many extremely bad drivers out on our roads. I would advise learner drivers to use another test centre as I have heard too many times now that this centre is a bit corrupt.
