THE DRIVING TEST IN Cheltenham

During the driving test, the examiner from Cheltenham Driving Test Centre will require that you demonstrate a good understanding and be able to safely navigate roundabouts, junctions, crossroads and possibly one-way-systems.

Rural roads my be part of the driving test and although they may appear quiet, rural roads represent one of the most challenging road types. See country road driving for further help. High speed ‘A’ roads such as the A435 and A40 are also likely to feature on the practical test.

 

One of the possible four driving test manoeuvres will be required and a 1-in-3 chance of the emergency stop procedure. 20 minutes of your test will be set aside for the independent part of the driving test.



By browsing the Cheltenham driving test routes section, you will gain a good understanding on the various road types and traffic systems that the examiner will take you on.

“Don't go here for your test, choose Gloucester instead. Cheltenham is a government-whipped driving centre, so the fail rate is a lot higher. Examiners are too harsh, giving majors for minors and in most cases, just completely making things up so you fail. Examiners will often throw the slip at you and run off into their building so you can't argue the result. Failed three times here, passed first time at Gloucester.”

“Agree completely with previous review. Genuinely felt the test went really well, was given a major for something that honestly didn't even cross my mind as even a minor, and as previous reviewer said the examiner literally runs out of the car while you're still shocked that you didn't pass and before you have time to register how unfair and harsh they were. Statistically this test centre has a much lower than national average pass rate, will be rebooking at Worcester even though the wait time is longer. If you choose Cheltenham, I would recommend having your instructor sit in the car with you so at least they can see the harsh marking for themselves and help fight your corner.”

“Incredibly unprofessional operation. My daughter drove 25 miles to show up at 9am for a driving test. After waiting for half an hour she enquired about the test, only to be told that the examiner had called in sick. “So sorry, but you know how it is,” was the extent of the apology and another test rescheduled in a month’s time. This is inconvenient to say the least, ruining her holiday plans, but what’s the point of a ‘centre’ which doesn’t have substitutes ready when staff are absent and doesn’t even try to contact the clients when this is the case. To add insult to injury, staff at the centre claimed there was no telephone on the premises my daughter could use to call somebody, leaving her stranded for another half an hour. Stay away from these incompetent time wasters.”

“DO NOT GO THERE FOR YOUR TEST! I wouldn't give them star, but I have no choice only to choose one. First of all I had a women examiner who asked me: So is it your third, fourth, fifth attempt? And I said no, it's actually my first one (I'm 28 so she just assumed that I have tried already several times) and she pulled a face. And than, everything went well, absolutely everything, sat nav perfect, the manoeuvre perfect, show me tell me all good. And 2 minutes before I've finished I did manage to look on the paper and I had 3 minors, ONLY 3, but after we finished, we were still in the car, she said: let's review and she started pulling lines?????? and she gave me 15 minors and a major????? Seriously? That's absolutely disgusting, and when I have asked why, she said that I did this and this and this. I totally agree with the rest of the reviews, she just made up the mistakes.”

“Second time I failed yesterday. Really angry and upset and frustrated. I genuinely thought I drove perfectly. I was mortified when she told me I had 3 majors and 4 minors. All 3 alleged majors I do not recall happening at all. She made it up. There was no reaction from her in the slightest at all, in fact she was talking to me about her brothers ex wife who was a psycho, not a care in the world. Strange that an apparent dangerous driver made her so relaxed and at ease with no intervention from her at all. I am livid. I really do think they are government-whipped. These tests should have dash cams from the front and the back of the car so that I can see these "Phantom" cars who had to change direction because I changed lanes. There is no room for appeal or to challenge these individuals. It's day light robbery and I am really truly enraged by the injustice.”

“I cannot understand the negative reviews. I have had two tests here. First time I was told I cut a car up. I didn't see it and was really angry until reviewing the car cam. It happened exactly as Tom (the examiner said). Second test I had the same examiner who was extremely professional and gave me excellent feedback for me to use now I can drive on my own. If you are failing multiple times take responsibility for it. The examiners know what they are doing and are trying to keep us all safer. Either have more lessons or try a different instructor.”
