THE DRIVING TEST at Cowley Road

The test centre at Cowley Road is located very close to the A14 dual carriageway which is frequently taken as part of the test route. The other side of the dual carriageway takes you into rural country roads and villages, which is also used as part of the test routes.

In the city itself, busy roads will see the examiner testing you through roundabouts and mini roundaboutscrossroads and junctions of all types. From this test centre, test manoeuvres are often taken around residential areas. Cowley Road Test Centre has bay parking facility, so this manoeuvre may be chosen by the examiner either at the start or end of your driving test.

The emergency stop procedure, though not requested on every test, is required on one in every three tests conducted. Independent driving is now a part of all car driving tests and is taken over a 20 minute period. Test centre routes are designed by the examiners who conduct practical tests at their local test centre.

Certain areas of the driving test routes in Cowley Road can be challenging such as busy roundabouts and junctions. A further understanding of the various roads that are taken during the driving test from Cowley Road Driving Test Centre can be obtained by viewing the driving test routes section.

Had 2 tests with Leroy- found him to be unclear (he mumbles) and generally quite abrasive. He also insisted on keeping the window open (even when we were going at 60mph) - probably because the smell of smoke was so strong... He also chose an uneven surface for the parallel parking. I wouldn't recommend this test centre.

The examiner (Leroy) was very harsh on the test. Didn't give any guidance to lane selection and wasn't very clearly spoken. Chose an uneven surface for the parking. Wouldn't recommend him or the test centre.

I passed my driving test for the first time on 07/12/17 and the examiner named Mal was really nice and made me feel confident! Many thanks to him! 🙂

Had the worst test experience with Gareth, very unclear & unprofessional throughout the test, compared to a previous test I had at Chesterton with a really encouraging & straight to the point examiner, my test was dramatically different & left me feeling incredibly frustrated & insulted

My daughter had her driving test, and passed she should have been over the moon, but felt completely fed up. The lady that took her for her test Janet was the most awful, horrible lady she could of had. But talking with other people who have come across her, she is well know for being a evil miserable person. These kids are so nervous and under pressure as it is, and then they end up with this women. Its so expensive to put them through there driving and there test, maybe she could be a bit more condierate, and put these young adults at ease instead of making them feel like crap.
