What learners should know about Leicester (Cannock Street)

  • Practising the roads around the centre is the preparation that most reliably pays off. Most ADI instructors in Leicester will know the road types and junctions learners commonly meet near the centre.
  • The only legitimate booking route is gov.uk. Anything calling itself a "test booking concierge" is reselling the same slots at a markup, the slots aren't theirs to control.
