1. About Paisley Test Centre from a Learner’s View

2. What to Expect on the Day

Bay parking likely. Independent driving often takes the M8 J29 then loops the A737 Johnstone bypass—variable speed cameras and crosswinds from the Clyde. Emergency stops happen on Ferguslie Park Avenue; mirrors checked at the busy St James Interchange.
