THE DRIVING TEST IN Peterborough
Situated on the surrounding city of Peterborough, Peterborough Driving Test Centre will include many varied road types during the driving test. Included will be rural country driving and high speed dual carriageways such as the A1139.
Rural roads often represent a difficulty to test candidates due to the high National Limit speeds combined with the often harsh corners found on rural roads. The country road driving tutorial offers advice on how to best use an appropriate speed for these roads.
Busy town driving will include such traffic systems as roundabouts and mini roundabouts, crossroads and junctions. A high knowledge of all such roads and systems is essential. Incorporated on the test will be one test manoeuvre of the possible four (the choice is the examiners) and a 1-in-3 possibility of the emergency stop procedure being requested. The examiner will request approximately 10 minutes of driving test time for the independent driving.
Test centre routes are designed by the examiners who conduct practical tests at their local test centre. Certain areas of the driving test routes in Peterborough can be challenging such as busy roundabouts and junctions. A further understanding of the various roads that are taken during the driving test from Peterborough Driving Test Centre can be obtained by viewing the driving test routes section.

Had my driving test with mark, he made me feel comfortable and relaxed. It was a very positive experience with a pass!
I had Richard Clarke he was my examiner 11/07/24. He was very good, patient, kind makes sure I feel calm. He's brilliant at what he does. He doesn't make me feel under pressure. I want to say big thank you to him also I wanna say a big thank you to my driving instructor Adil for getting me to pass my test.
Not impressed whatsoever, had Phil, gave me 3 serious faults that should've been minors including me for a brief second doing a few mph over 30 and other times for other faults equally harsh. I reckon he (can't speak for other examiners) gave me a fail to make sure I pay another £62 to take it again - in other words make himself more money. Despicable, sack him please.
Would give 0 stars if able to. Shocking customer service. Drove for 45 minutes to get there and was told there was nowhere to wait for my daughter whilst she did her test. It was minus 1° outside… was I supposed to sit in my car for an hour? It was the way the woman spoke to me to tell me this that was shocking! Wouldn’t like to think how she speaks to the young ones when they arrive without a parent/guardian with them! I left to try to find a coffee shop to sit in and my daughter called me and told me that she couldn’t find her license. I made a quick call home and she’d dropped it outside the house. I popped back into the centre and explained this to the young lad booking the people in. I then showed him a photo of the license and offered to drive home for it but was told there was only a 15 minute window of opportunity to utilise, after the booked time. He then said, in condescending voice, sorry. He was not sorry, one iota! DVSA Peterborough need to work on their customer service skills. If you don’t want to work in customer service or work on a Saturday then find another job.
I will book my daughter in for another test but WILL NOT be choosing Peterborough again, I’d rather drive further than go back to that place.
I took my test yesterday and my examiner was Matt. He was really polite and made me feel calm. Also took the time to give me feedback on the minors I made at the end of the test.
