Former Failsworth Driving Test Centre
Located at 2 Partington Street M35 9RD, this driving test centre covers practical driving tests for cars, motorcycles and taxis along nearby roads. It is perhaps rather unfortunate that this DTC doesn't have a more prepossessing appearance with the window coverings being rather prominent to candidates as they arrive there to take their tests. The notice near the entrance refers to DSA (Driving Standards Agency) Safe Driving For Life. Update: this DTC closed on Friday 15th September 2017.
