THE DRIVING TEST IN Eastbourne

The practical driving test at Eastbourne Driving Test Centre is situated around various road types, all of which are used on the test routes. The test examiner will require you to demonstrate a good knowledge of these road types, as well as various traffic systems such as roundabouts, both normal and mini roundabouts, large and small junctions and crossroads.

Rural roads are a likely feature. More information can be obtained about rural roads from the country road driving guide. High speed dual carriageway roads such as the A22 are also often taken on the test.

A minimum of one driving test manoeuvre will be required and a 1 in 3 chance of the emergency stop. By browsing the Eastbourne 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.

This centre is full of nasty old examiners who like to fail people on minor manoeuvres. my boyfriend who is an excellent driver who desperately needed his driving licence for his work. they failed him over a minor fault but according to them it was a major. which when checked the government website should have been marked minor

Disappointed for my daughter and the examiner who decided to fail her on a last maneuver. She was in control of the car and knew what she was doing but he decided that she was going to crush!!! No logic as she drove him safely for 40 minutes beforehand. Needless to say that it seems that failing is a good way for the test centre to.brung in some extra revenue! Shame on you

Really disappointed with my examiner .she obviously didn't want me to pass and could quite easily have given me the benefit of the doubt.It seems to me that there is a big disparity between examiners and really does depend on how they are feeling on any particular day.It was a good solid confident test.No consistency between examiners but she'd obviously made her mind up. Many thanks
