Nottingham Driving Test Centre

There are four practical driving test centres within Nottingham and three other test centres close by. The driving tests from Nottingham Driving Test Centres will involve many different roads and traffic systems.

Busy city and town driving will include various roundabout types from mini roundabouts to multi lane roundabouts. Junctions, crossroads and one-way-systems. During this part of the driving test, residential roads are often a feature of part of the test routes. These road types can be narrow and test your ability for giving way to oncoming traffic, often whilst passing parked cars. Often they are used for the test manoeuvres.

High speed ‘A’ roads and dual carriageways are frequent along with rural roads for country driving. Rural roads represent a unique challenge often due to higher speeds combined with sharp corners. The country road driving tutorial aims to help novice driver with these road types. The test will include one manoeuvre from the possible four (the choice is down to the examiner) and the emergency stop procedure having a 1-in-3 possibility of being requested. The test will allow approximately 10 minutes for independent driving.

The Nottingham driving test routes can be difficult. Picking an instructor who is experienced with the difficult areas of the test routes will benefit you on the day of your test. 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 Nottingham Driving Test Centre. The days and times at which you book your test can benefit you. For example if you check your Nottingham test centre availability for Saturday tests, if traffic congestion is reduced on these days, try a Saturday test. Test fees are slightly higher during the weekend. During weekday bookings, try and avoid rush hour by arranging your test between the times of 10am and 4pm.
