1. About Blackburn with Darwen Test Centre from a Learner’s View

Found on Beech Street, the centre shares a small bay‑lined car park with local businesses. First challenge: the steep Cob Wall junction onto the A674.

2. What to Expect on the Day

You’ll read a plate, answer one question, perform a manoeuvre (bay or parallel) and maybe an emergency stop. Independent driving regularly climbs up to the M65 junction 5, so practise hill‑starts.

3. After You Pass

Digital paperwork, licence in two weeks. Pass Plus on the M61 and M6 is popular locally.

4. What If You Don’t Pass?
