The study showed the best UK areas for taking the driving theory test, with 21 locations only having one-week waiting lists – and Wigan being one of them.

The research, carried out by motoring experts at Bill Plant Driving School, also revealed the best UK areas to pass the practical and theory driving test, as well as the areas with the longest average test waiting times.

In 2022, it was reported that the average wait for a driving test in the UK was around 13 weeks, but for some areas this was considerably longer.
