Scott Mann has welcomed the news that new driving theory test centres will be opened in Bodmin and Launceston.
The nearest test centres for North Cornwall are in either Truro or Plymouth, but now test centres will open in the Town Halls of both communities.
DVSA chief driving examiner, Lesley Young, said:
“DVSA is committed to providing a service that meets the needs and expectations of our customers.
“I’m pleased that we’ll be able to offer customers more choice and will be opening an additional 28 theory test centres across Great Britain, as a result of our contract extension with Pearson VUE.”
The new centres will be open to make bookings and for applicant to sit their theory tests when there is local demand for it.
Scott Mann said:
"This is great news. For years, learner drivers have had to travel long distances to Truro or Plymouth for their theory test, and having new test centres in Launceston and Bodmin will be much more convenient and it will save time and money."
