THE DRIVING TEST IN Ipswich

Ipswich Driving Test Centre provides a wide variety of tests from car, motorbikes, large vehicles (LGV), buses and driving instructor tests. Located on the outskirts of Ipswich, Ipswich Driving Test Centre will incorporate a wide variety of roads during the test.

Urban town driving will include traffic systems such as roundabouts, (including large, busy multi-lane to mini roundabouts typically located in residential streets) to crossroads and junctions. Residential streets that are narrow and hazardous due to oncoming vehicles often feature.

These can be challenging especially to learner drivers when passing parked cars. Rural roads are likely (see the country road driving tutorial for help with these road types) as are high speed dual dual carriageways such as the A14.

As well as the vast combinations of road types, the examiner will include a single test manoeuvre with the emergency stop procedure having a 1-in-3 possibility of being requested. 10 minutes of the driving test will be delegated to the independent driving part. This part of the test involves following basic maps provided by the examiner, following road signs or a combination of both.

Test routes are available for many of the test centres and may include Ipswich driving test routes. Viewing the test routes provide test candidates with an insight into the various types of roads and traffic systems they’re likely to encounter.

I found the process of taking my driving test actually a lot less daunting than I thought. I stupidly read the reviews on this site before attending and I have to say my experience was brilliant. The examiner was friendly and listened to me rabbit on (down to the nerves) he remained professional at all times. I did pass, with one fault, the examiner explained the fault and I had a good understanding of what I need to do to make sure it doesn’t happen again. I think the examiner I had was called Nicky, I was nervous at the point in introducing himself so I may have misheard his name. Thanks again ☺️

Absolutely appalling the examiners clearly hate their job! My boyfriends first test his examiner was extremely rude and ignorant, put his foot on the break at a roundabout because there was a car coming from the opposite side of the roundabout!! Then his second test he didn’t even get into the car because the examiner couldn’t be bothered to wait 2 minutes for me to get back with his license as he forgot it, they said they had another test straight after his even though we were there after for an hour and still no sign of them! Ridiculous behaviour, the examiner was also 5 minutes late and lied and said they were waiting there 7 minutes when it was only 2 due to them being late!!

A big thank you to examine Mark who went the extra mile to help my pupil who successfully pass her test yesterday, and can only be hailed a hero for his patience and understanding in a truly awful situation! Words cannot express how grateful we are to this outstanding service we received . And I personally have never experienced anything but a great service over the many years I’ve been an instructor in Ipswich so a big thank you to all of you for doing what you do and in these most challenging times . 🙂

Was failed on my Mod2 test for driving down a road at 30, when it was a 60 limit. after checking there are no speed limit signs from the direction we came from, and there are street lights at the start, making it a 30. surely its safer to be careful and slow if you cant see anything that states more than 30? Not knowing ipswich i think they do this on purpose.

Truely awful. The instructor didn't look at me once. Asked me to stand outside and wait for him whilst he sorted something else out. Didn't know what was going on. Rushed over to the car. Wasn't clear when instructing. Sat nav fell off the dash board time after time. Wasn't looking at what I was doing, was more interested in working out how the air con worked. Sat nav showed two ways to go so I asked which way he would prefer. He answers saying there was only one way. Very helpful. Finally started marking my examination sheet when we got back to the test centre. Passed me the paper.
