Chelmsford Driving Test Centre

Chelmsford Driving Test Centre is located in and around busy town roads. Required for the test will be a high knowledge of traffic systems such as roundabouts of all types from large multi-lane to small mini roundabouts, crossroads, junctions and a possibility of one-way-systems.

A good understanding of test routes close to and nearby the test centre will be of benefit. Busy ‘A’ roads such as the A138 and the A12 dual carriageway are likely where good judgement of oncoming traffic speed is important before joining. Quiet residential roads that are narrow, have tight bends are likely. Oncoming vehicles can be hazardous on such roads.

See passing parked cars for further help. One of the possible four driving test manoeuvres shall be requested, independent driving and a 1-in-3 chance of the emergency stop being requested.

The driving test in Chelmsford includes many challenging roads, including country roads. The test is designed to take you over as many varied roads as possible to establish to the driving examiner you are a competent and safe driver. The Chelmsford driving test routes will enable you to gain a better understanding of the various road types that are likely. Focusing on the areas that are most difficult will be most beneficial.

Be aware of examiner who has a beard he might fail you for literally everything. Chelmsford is the worst place to take a test. Completely waist time and money. You must have very high level of road user. More knowledge to do this test. Not friendly places.

 by Eric

There’s one examiner, her name is Sam. She’s the worst test conductor ever. She didn’t smile even once to make me feel comfortable. She didn’t even respond to my smile. Her attitude made me so nervous that I made 3 dangerous mistakes. Her rigid face still haunts me. They know we are already nervous and that can make us do mistakes. They should try to make us at ease. Otherwise I never make those mistakes which I made that day, with my instructor.

1st time passed . Examiner was friendly, made me feel at ease and was extremely fair with the minors i received. Ultimately if you are not safe enough then they will fail you. Practice makes perfect and dont take your test untill you are ready
