THE DRIVING TEST IN Northampton

Various road types can be expected during the driving test from Northampton Driving Test Centre. Village and country roads are frequently used, also high speed dual carriageway ‘A’ roads such as the A45 are also used as part of the test routes. Judging speed can be difficult, especially around harsh corners on rural roads. See the country road driving tutorial for advice on how to do this.

In Northampton itself, busy streets will feature on the test and include road systems such as roundabouts, junctions and crossroads. Residential areas often have narrow roads and areas that make meeting oncoming vehicles challenging.


The narrow streets often require passing parked cars whilst also giving way to oncoming vehicles. These areas are frequently used for test manoeuvre purposes also. The test can be expected to last around 40 minutes and to include a manoeuvre, the emergency stop is requested on every other test conducted and independent driving is mandatory. 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 Northampton Driving Test Centre.

Well I guess it's easy to give a good review when you passed without any minors but the five stars is really for the instructor, Michael, who made me feel completely at ease in order for me to really show what I had. He made great conversation and allowed me the opportunity to calm my nerves so that I was able to perform at my best. Thank you so much for a great experience.
