Common questions
Test-centre FAQs
Do test routes stay the same?
No fixed route should be relied upon. Examiners can use different roads, and learners must be ready to drive safely in unfamiliar situations.
Should I choose the centre with the highest pass rate?
Pass-rate statistics do not determine whether an individual is ready. Choose a practical centre with suitable preparation, instructor coverage and timing.
Can Passers Hub guarantee use of an instructor’s car?
No. Vehicle use depends on availability, prior agreement and the instructor being satisfied that the learner can use it safely.
