THE DRIVING TEST IN Norris Green

Norris Green Driving Test Centre is situated around the busy streets of Liverpool and the test will involve many difficult roads. High speed ‘A’ roads are often taken as are residential streets that are often used for test manoeuvres.

Residential streets are also used for testing your ability for dealing with oncoming vehicles in narrow lane situations. This often involves passing parked cars whilst dealing with oncoming vehicles. You will be expected to demonstrate a single manoeuvre from the possible four that the examiner has to choose from.

 

Around a 1-in-3 possibility of the emergency stop procedure being requested. The examiner will allow around 10 minutes for independent driving which is mandatory on each car driving test conducted. Test centre routes are designed by the examiners who conduct practical tests at their local test centre.




The routes are designed in such a way so to involve as many diverse roads and traffic systems as possible, often including very challenging parts. Gaining knowledge of the test routes provides valuable insight into the type of roads that will be taken during your test. Driving test routes may be available to view or a downloadable app for your mobile device in your area, including Norris Green Driving Test Centre. The driving test routes for sat nav and other navigation devices have been updated to the latest 2019 versions. See driving test routes for sat nav.

“Had my test today using automatic with PAUL, he wasn't very friendly upon meeting at test centre. Towards the end of the exam at the test centre parking I was asked to reverse into the bay, I had my tyres half in (fixed in centre of bay with half the bonnet out) was about to level out and pull forward to straighten up and reverse back in and paul informed me I could not do this and had to continue to reverse in to bay as my car wheels was half in (I was not park nor had I finished) where my tyres was 3inches over white line he would not let me correct this and gave me a serious mark. This is not the first time Paul has received complaints. Total jobs worth as clearly states on dvla that you are allowed to correct reverse parking as long as you are not fully in bay or put the car in park.”

“Had a driving test today at 10:14am with Laurence Hallman, at first meeting he came across cold and stand off. Set off on my test 1st 5 minutes perfect like the 1 hour lesson I had before and he then takes me to a hill start and asked me to reverse around the corner, seems easy enough but automatically I rolled down the hill trying my best to keep control, I remained calm and steered into the corner, I then realised I had went to far in and asked if I could fix my mistake as I have been informed you can take "aslong" as you want on your manoeuvre there is no rush, he then spoken to me like utter crap and told me my time was up and I could not correct it or try again I tried to reason with him and offered to do another manoeuvre and she shushed me!! I then asked if I failed and he confirmed!! At this point it been in the car 10 minutes and he left me in tears! He rang a taxi to the address and left me to make my own way home! No feeling or care in world about me or the result and how I am down money I didn't really have and disappointed with the lack of effort by Laurence, I don't no who they employe but I can say with a strong heart that I was abandoned and confused the taxi man asked him what had happened like a genuine person would and he responded with a disgusting attitude and told him not to discuss this with him. The end of the day he should not be an invigilator and at this rate he's working up a bad crowd and reputation!!! Do not go with the this man he's out to fail and a huge jobs worth !!! Again Laurence Hallman fails you even before you start your test !!!!”

“Had my test yesterday (28th june) with a man named Paul! From the very start he was very manipulating and rude mannered. He is a large man so had his seat right back which made it very difficult for me to see during my manoeuvre, he asked me to do a left reverse into the road so I politely asked if he could move his seat forward a little bit for me to see my point of turn which he then replied "you either need it all the way forward or none attall stop being polite and make your mind up will you"!! I carried on my left reverse and finished it perfectly no faults attall but when I got back to the test centre he had failed me on it for my observations which I did perfect! He didn't wait for my instructor to get into the car before telling me I failed he then just left my sheet on the chair and got out of the car, didn't do a debrief with me. I left the test centre in tears as I have never been so intimidated in my life! I only had 5 minors which one was his fault because he had his foot on the clutch pedal as I was trying to change gear which I no he is NOT allowed to do! I tried to make conversation with him to calm my nerves and he belittled me each time and told me silence is golden so basically I need to shut up. He is a very rude man and it upsets me that he was going to fail me from the very start and if I would of had my test with a different examiner the outcome would be alot different. I have rebooked my test back in and I hope to god it's not with him again!”

“Horrible experience on my 1st test, examiner was Paul, set me up to fail from word go, spoke to me like absolute crap ! Gave me blatant wrong instructions then made me feel stupid for asking if this is what he wanted me to do, told me to GO GO GO in an abusive manner as I was doing my observations after he told me to reverse around corner I could not see because covered in deep rain water, my heart was in my mouth the whole time, not a nice man at all, failed with 4 minors an 1 serious which I'll take on board but wholly believe I made the mistake because the way he made me on edge, been awake half the night with anxiety with the way he treated me.”

“I had my test this morning with a lady called Lesley. She was professional, friendly and made me feel at ease from the start. I have read some of the comments on here and disagree with nearly all of them. She was a lovely lady, not at all snotty, and she made my test experience a positive one. I passed with 5 minors. People need to remember you fail because of your own actions not how someone is with you. Take some responsibility.”

“Worst experience with driving instructor called Paul. Already being nervous as it was my first driving test he made me feel nervous and very very uncomfortable, by shouting at me and speaking to me rudely. I’ve seen all the reviews on here and there mainly about him. There is no need the way he spoke to me. He gave me the worst experience. Would defiantly not recommend him.”

“Took my first test today at the Norris Green Centre. My examiner was Paul. I got a bad vibe from him the minute I met him. The first thing he asked me to do was walk outside of the test centre and stand to the right, which I did. He then asked me which car was mine to which I replied “mine is just around that corner” and he then said “it doesn’t matter where your car is! We’ve got things to do before the test begins!!” WHY ASK ME THEN? Once we got to the car he began to ask me some questions, after I had answered them we got into the car when he began to tell me how he hates people who go all around the world when answering questions and that it’s like “emailing NASA and waiting for them to give him the answer”. He was completely rude and out of order. As well as this, when I was asked to turn right, there were two lanes to do so, I went into the right line and then corrected myself by telling him that I know I should’ve gone into the left lane. He then said “why? Are you banned from the right lane or something??” I replied “no but my instructor always tells me to go straight into the left lane” he carried on with his snide remarks. Just to add to all of this, he asked me where I worked and I told him that I am a teaching assistant. He proceeded to tell me that I must be stupid as I am a teaching assistant and not a teacher! I tried to laugh off every horrible, snide and nasty comment he made but I did take it all in and it did completely put me off. I will be refusing to take my test with him again!”

“Overall, my experience at the Norris green test centre was a pleasant one. I had my test with a man called Tom he was a genuine pleasant guy. we had great bants about the football mainly Everton an Liverpool.

“Passed with Lesley as my examiner & completely disagree with all the negative comments. This was my 4th test & I thought she was so lovely and made me feel really at ease from the get go, as where the other 3 that previously failed me at Norris green. You want to blame someone when you fail but at the end of the day, you can't blame the examiner. Just put back in for your test and smash your lessons”

“My first test was a perfect test except one missed indication ! Which i was failed on i had a Mr d mclelan it was at the round about just going onto muirhead avenue . has there is also a left hand turn on to lisburn lane i felt i couldn't indicate at that point as it would give pedestrians false information . i was in the left hand lane as i was going straight on . For that one thing i failed ! I couldn't believe that was a fail . The test was very nerve wrecking as it was but i kept calm . The second test i couldn't believe i got the same person ,he isn't pleasant doesn't make you feel at ease he was very intimadating on both occasions !! This is not the way to treat people when taking the test . Not only is it costly to do a test ,but its hard enough without feeling so uncomfortable by the person sitting next to you . He looks for the most odious faults nothing that would cause serious danger to anyone . These examiners need to make people feel at ease not stress them more .”

“Had my test today with Laurence Hallman, said I had failed due to pulling out on a car which I do not recall doing! Rushed me when I was trying to do my maneover. He did not bring a sat nav with him and said I had to do my test via sighns I tried to get into the far right lane when the traffic started to move again from being stuck at traffic lights he yelled at me saying “where are you going” his attitude was discusting towards me I was already a nervous wreck with it being my first ever test and he made me feel 10X worse. I do admit i might not be test ready at the moment but he made me feel so uncomfortable and i have noticed on my sheet he has gave me marks that I made sure that i was making correct! Do not go with him!”

“Passed 3rd time (the first two we're bogus and maddening cause they d fail me with just one major which weren't actually serious or dangerous but say I was a good driver in the next breath!) because Along came Kevin! Kevin is a delight, nice and chatty and genuinely lovely. Something which a lot of the local instructors agree is you'd be lucky to get him.”
