Local tips
Dryden's DriveTest centre is Unit 8 in the Golden Mile Plaza at 539 Government Street, next to Domino's Pizza and across from the Comfort Inn. The closest intersection is Government Street and Duke Street, which has traffic lights. This is a part-time office: the latest directory listing we found gives Monday, Tuesday and Thursday hours of 9:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. and 2:00 p.m. to 4:30 p.m., and DriveTest says hours here have changed, so check before you drive in. Government Street is part of Highway 17, so expect highway traffic right outside the plaza. Practice turning on and off a busy three-lane road and using the lights at Duke Street and at Boozhoo Avenue (Highway 601). DriveTest also runs travel points in Sioux Lookout and Ignace linked to Dryden, and Kenora also has a DriveTest centre.
