I think the test center has been moved, however I dont know if it is just because of habbit or not but most friends of mine who have done thier test in the last year have done it in bidston via Birkenhead North.




Thanks, i'll remember that one. Only problem is my Dad wont even let me in the driving seat of his car until I have had at least one lesson. Since I am supposed to be doing an intensive course, by the time ive had my first lesson/day I wont really have time to have a drive in his car (even a short drive ).
Allthough I have been talking with my Dad and we where thinking of normal lessons. When I enquired about intensive lessons I found out that the waiting list is 8 weeks to take the test and you dont do a single lesson until the week before the test is due.
My dad seems to think that if I do more lessons than most (say about 3 lessons a week rather than just 1 like most people I know) I could well be ready to do my test by then anyway, this would also work out about £100 cheaper.

Anybody agree/disagree with that?? I really need a second opinion before I go book either intensive or normal lessons
I'd go with the 2 or 3 lessons a week idea. An intensive course is all well and good, if you have some driving experience, maybe a lesson or two, but think how much of your time is gonna be blown if you make some kind of mistake on day 1 or 2 and it hits your confidence. Best to do maybe a couple of double lessons a week for a month or two. that way, if you have a bad lesson you'll have forgotten it by the next one, plus your dad will probably be ok about taking you out for the odd hour or two after the first couple of lessons.
