No way will tey be ready. If they're building, then there's best part of a month shutdown over Crimbo. Plus all the fitting out and testing of systems etc that needs doing. It's completely unrealistic.
Yep.......... it has always been unrealistic! They need at least a year to sort it out. Will more than likey be pushed back again!

Another crazy thing with the test is that you are required to swerve to the right after the high speed corner, in england this means that you are tought to swerve into oncoming traffic!

Bloody Stupid..

It has less to do with that and everything to do with the fact that most of the planned Multi Purpose Test Centres haven't been built and there is nowhere to conduct the test.

Horray for those of you being able to take an ENGLISH test at our speed limits

We dont do km on our roads or do they know sumthing we dont

And how will 60(sum only workin at weekends!) centres make buddin bikers be better riders when they have 200 which serve them well enough now
You make yourself a competent biker not the test or where and how its taken

There needs to be a plot for car drivers to come under these new centres and let them see what chaos prevails
