Driving in the North East
With its vibrant major cities of Newcastle, Durham and Sunderland, the North East also has some of the most breathtaking drives in the country. The Northumberland coast is a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, harbouring destinations such as the Holy Island of Lindisfarne and Dunstanburgh Castle. The easternmost parts of the North East are also among the driest in the UK, although snow and ice can frequently cause traffic disruption in the winter months.
Traffic hotspots tend to be centred around urban conurbations; Newcastle and Gateshead in particular suffer from traffic congestion during the daily commute. The North East trunk road network is currently rated the safest in the UK, and in fact the region scores better than average for road safety on all road types: On the whole the North East is well connected by the A1 North to South, the A68 which heads on up to Edinburgh, and the A69 which transects the region East to West.
The beautiful Northumberland National Park makes up a large chunk of the centre of the North East; it’s a remote area with few towns or major roads, so check bookmygarage.com for your best local garage option.

FAQs
What is an MOT Test?
An MOT test, or Ministry of Transport Test, is an essential annual vehicle check to assess roadworthiness and safety standards. It ensures all vehicles on UK roads are maintained to a certain standard, improving road safety standards in the process.
What Do I Do if My MOT is Overdue?
If your MOT is overdue you must book a test immediately. It is illegal to drive on public roads in the UK without a valid MOT certificate.
You can book an MOT online today by entering your vehicle registration and postcode into our comparison site.
How Long Does an MOT Take?
An MOT usually takes between 45 and 60 minutes. Many garages offer an ‘MOT-while-you-wait’ service with waiting rooms and refreshments onsite.
If your car fails and needs extra repairs, it will take a lot longer. The test centre will be able to give you a time estimate based on the severity of your repairs.
Do I Need an MOT?
You will need an MOT, by law, if you drive a vehicle registered three or more years ago. This means that all drivers of vehicles registered in or before 2019 must book an MOT in 2022.
If your car is less than three years old, you do not need an MOT but you can choose to book one if you wish.
