About this test centre

Govan test centre covers some of Glasgow's most heavily-trafficked roads, with routes through the M8 approach network, the Clyde Tunnel approach, and dense tenement-lined streets. The combination of motorway-adjacent merging and tight urban driving in a single test is what makes this centre particularly demanding.
