Practical Driving Tests Spread To Other Halfords Stores

May 9, 2013 by Mr Butterscotch Leave a Comment

One of the issues around the driving test is driving yourself to the test centre.  The sweating palms, the nervous worry and the stress can be huge.  Imagine then simply driving to your local Halfords to complete your test.  You could even pick up an air freshener for the car you’re going to buy at the same time!

Practical driving tests will be available from Halfords stores in:

  • Ashton-under-Lyne store every Tuesday and Thursday from Tuesday 4 June
  • Hemel Hempstead store every Wednesday and Friday from Wednesday 12 June
  • Bromsgrove store every Wednesday and Friday from Wednesday 19 June

All tests will be conducted by Driving Standards Agency (DSA) examiners.

Practical driving tests are already available from the Halfords store in Wellingborough and more branches are expected to start offering tests in coming months.

Road Safety Minister Stephen Hammond said:

“We are very pleased to be working with Halfords to provide a more local service for driving test candidates.  This is a great example of how we can work with partners in the public and private sector to provide a service that is convenient as well as being cost effective.”

Halfords Commercial Director Paul McClenaghan, said:

“Halfords is already a local destination for motorists, who come to us for a diverse range of automotive products and services.  We’re always seeking new ways in which to enhance our offer, so working with the Driving Standards Agency is a natural fit for the business and extends the help we are able to provide to motorists.”

So what do you think?  Would you be happy to conduct your driving test from Halfords, or would it not make a difference to you if it means you can complete your test locally?
