Test Times
Due to the slope, performing the reverse park into the bay exercise in the Bathgate DTC car park definitely requires that candidates have at least a little practice reverse parking in it before doing it on their practical test. However on occasions in the past instructors and candidates practicing has interfered with the normal running of the test centre. The car park is the property of the DSA and the examiners must be given first rights to use it, always. Therefore, with this in mind I have composed the following list of times when you might want to consider carefully before planning to go in and practice.

end up paying a lot more
for your test than you need to.
