Driving instructors staged a protest in South Shields on Thursday over the closure of their local driving test centre, hoping their actions will help overturn the decision.
The DVSA (Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency) plan to shut down South Shields Driving Test Centre on April 10, along with a number of other test centres across the country.
In response to the cuts, 40 local instructors performed a 'go slow' protest in their learner cars this afternoon, driving slowly in two lanes between the test centre on Bede industrial estate and the Town Hall.
