How the swap works here
- 1. List your existing booking and desired dates.
- 2. The DTC checks whether another learner wants your exact slot and you want theirs.
- 3. Both learners accept, then complete the official DVSA phone process.
Planning around Bangor
The recorded address places this centre in an industrial-estate setting around Bangor and Gwynedd. Before accepting a swap, check that your instructor can cover the new date and that the journey works for the vehicle you will use.
OpenStreetMap records Ffordd Llandegai (A5), Ffordd Llandegai, Ffordd Hendrewen, Lon Cefn Ty, and Lôn Pobty within roughly one mile of the centre. The mix of larger roads including Ffordd Llandegai (A5) with local roads such as Ffordd Llandegai, Ffordd Hendrewen, Lon Cefn Ty, and Lôn Pobty makes it sensible to practise changing speed, lane position and observation between different road types.
The surrounding mapped network includes roundabouts.
Road and transport context was checked against OpenStreetMap contributors on 2026-09-04. It describes the surrounding mapped area, not an official or guaranteed test route.
