THE DRIVING TEST IN Maidstone

Maidstone Driving Test Centre is situated around busy urban roads where the test will involve various types of roundabouts (including mini roundabouts), crossroads and junctions. Excellent knowledge of all traffic systems is essential.

Residential streets often used for test manoeuvres during the test are also used to test your ability at meeting approaching traffic whilst on narrow lanes and streets. During the test, the examiner will be requesting one manoeuvre with the emergency stop procedure having a 1-in-3 possibility. Approximately 10 minutes is set aside for independent driving.

Other than town driving, test routes often incorporate high speed single and dual carriageways, and if close enough to the test centre, rural roads. These type of roads represent a unique challenge due to their often high speeds and harsh corners.

The country road driving tutorial helps to explain how to use a safe and appropriate speed. Test routes are available for many of the UK practical driving test centres and may include Maidstone driving test routes. The routes aid test candidates in gaining an understanding of the various roads and systems that the examiner will take you on during your test. Routes can be viewed on this website or downloaded as an app.
