Q: Is there a best time to book a driving test in Sale?
A: If possible, try to avoid peak rush hour times (08:00–09:30 and 15:30–17:00), as Washway Road (A56) becomes heavily congested. The slots between 10:00 and 14:00 are generally considered more manageable, as the traffic flow is lighter and road conditions are clearer.
Q: Does the test centre have on-site parking?
