Failsworth driving test centre is just east of Manchester and is situated in a busy urban environment. This is likely to be the reason why the test pass rate is so low. Initially, a busy road to practice would be the A62 as this could come up in your exam. On your test, the route could involve roundabouts, crossroads and junctions of a complex nature. This is why practising Failsworth’s test routes is so important.
