THE DRIVING TEST IN Gloucester

Gloucester Driving Test Centre is situated within busy city roads and close to rural roads. The test examiner is likely to select both road types during the driving test. The examiner will be testing your ability at junctions of varied types, roundabouts and crossroads.

Busy ‘A’ roads such as the A38 are likely. The rural types of roads often represent a challenge to many drivers, not only learners due to the potential high speeds and sharp corners. Our country road driving tutorial provides advice on how to safely use these road types.

 

Often in the test, small residential roads are selected due to being hazardous for narrow width constraints and meeting oncoming traffic. See passing parked cars for a insight on using these particular types of roads.




A single driving test manoeuvre and a 1-out-of-3 possibility of the emergency stop procedure being requested. The Gloucester driving test routes may alter slightly during the practical but will generally detail the various routes that the examiner will take you on.

BOOKING A DRIVING TEST AT Gloucester DRIVING TEST CENTRE

Always choose your driving test booking time carefully. Choosing a time that clashes with peak traffic rush hour may see you sitting in traffic more, but will also put you in direct contact with stressed drivers trying to get home. To book your practical test, you have two options:




Book a driving test by phone
The book a driving test section contains the DVSA telephone numbers for booking a practical driving test at Gloucester Driving Test Centre by phone. This telephone number directs you to an automated test booking line, although if you browse the option you can talk to a assistant.

Book your driving test online
Often the preferable method to book a driving test at Gloucester Driving Test Centre is via the internet. This option displays to you all the available test slots allowing you to choose a time and day that is suitable for you.

Rescheduling or cancelling the driving test
3 working days notice is required to cancel the driving test at Gloucester if you require a full refund. The same conditions apply if you wish to reschedule. Cancellations and rescheduling can be done via the contact details above.

“The examiner was rude and obnoxious. He didn't go through any of my minor marks with me, no explanations or advice! Had his elbow in the way through most of the test which made it hard for me to change gear! Not what you want when your nervous enough. Awful experience that I don't wish to repeat anytime soon.”

“The time limit if you fail your driving test and then rebook is up to a 16 week wait. This is ridiculous matter and should be looked into ,no one should ever have to wait this long. It's a money making game and yes if someone fails they should then ideally should be able to re sit there test in 5 weeks max not 4 months waiting !!! Examiners need give one more person centred and make the driver feel relaxed as this isn't happening. DVLA should be thinking about pupils waiting for re booking tests!!!!!”

“Really poor attitude from the same examiner again. Failed me for not pushing through oncoming traffic and he nearly ran into the back of me. Really poor experience with no feedback and the examiner laughed at me as he left the room. Got told I could not re-book with another examiner and to try somewhere else to pass.”

“I have unfortunately failed on numerous attempts. All of these fails were fair and clearly explained to me. All the examiners I have had were fair and helpful. With one exception. MB. However there is always one! As a whole I cannot complain and have found the feedback at the end of each test very helpful.”

“If you get Nick, you are lucky! He is very fair and even when you don't pass he leaves you understanding Why with a clear explanation. The other examiners are rude, miserable bullies! This is based on my unfortunate experience of having taken 8 tests, 3 with Nick. I got there in the end!”

“What a horrible experience! Previously I had tests with both Nick and Jerome. Although I failed, they were very nice and explained why. On my 3rd test I had a young woman called Cat. She was so patronising! She talked to me as if I was thick and told me how much people like her voice! Ha! Squark more like! When I failed her justification was pathetic. I have come away feeling angry and frustrated.”

“Fabulous first test with a man either under name of Nick or Pat. I made a major mistake and he politely explained it all to me at the end. Had a horrendous experience with a man called Jerome today. He sighed and made loud exgerrated apologies to other drivers when I hadn’t even affected them and they were miles off to try and belittle me. Asked me to park on the right and i hesitated because a car was coming towards me. He kept saying ‘park on the right’ in a pressurising tone until I did and then sighed and shouted sorry at the other car even though it had stopped. Before I reversed two car lengths he said ‘reverse two car lengths without driving too far to the right’ making a presumption that I would do it wrong and throwing me off. At the end of the test I felt very anxious around this mans aggressive bullying attitude. He asked if I wanted to hear the faults as he could clearly see I was upset and crying. Anyone with any people skills would just deliver the information without an attitude however he continued by telling me that changing gear a little close to a roundabout was a serious danger to other road users and starting laughing at me. If I get him again I will not continue with the test. Rude, bullying and no need for this kind of behaviour when people are already highly stressed and nervous. Fine someone fails but no need to bully and humiliate them. Thanks.”

“Terrible examiners and an unfair testing procedure. I was failed due to the examiner not paying attention, and claiming I missed one of my shoulder checks. He was rude and patronising, and gave me faults for the tiniest things. Utterly terrible.”
