Thousands of motorcycle test candidates will have access to a more convenient, local service as the Driving Standards Agency opens up more sites for module 2 tests.
From June, the DSA will be offering module 2 motorcycle tests from eight new test centres at Bridgend, Chesterfield, Hamilton, Letchworth, Rhyl, Southampton (Maybush), Southport and Stranraer.
The DSA say that the new centres are being opened following analysis of feedback from motorcycle trainers, volumes of tests, distance candidates have to travel and examiner resource.
The DSA adds that it will continue to look at opening more sites where demand and examiner resource allows. “We plan to actively recruit and train more motorcycle examiners ready for 2014,” said a spokesman.
