Warmely and Brislington Test Centre - Road Works - High Street

Posted by Will Dracott on Friday, June 4, 2010,

High Street near Kingswood is being dug in two sections and so they have employed a few lollipop men to ease traffic congestion.

Southmead Tes Route - Road Works - Stoke Bishop

One of the big issues that newly qualified drivers have is being on their own. Not having that voice telling you where to go can lead to recently qualified drivers getting lost and confused. The Pass Plus would help with this, however, the DSA has taken some inititive here and has produced a few YouTube videos to help put drivers at ease.
