Sheffield Driving Test Centre

There are two practical driving test centres in  Sheffield. One test centre conducts tests for cars, the other conducts tests for cars and large vehicles (LGV).

Both Sheffield Driving Test Centres are located on the surrounding edges of Sheffield. As a result of this, rural roads are often included in the driving test routes (see country road driving for advice on these road types). Busy city roads will include various types of roundabouts, crossroads and junctions.

These traffic systems will be testing your ability to understand how they work and regard to other road users. Quieter residential roads are often taken. These roads can be difficult for learner drivers as they are often narrow and can be hazardous due to oncoming vehicles.

Examiners often test your ability for dealing with oncoming vehicles whilst passing parked cars on residential areas. High speed ‘A’ roads including dual carriageway systems are frequently taken. The testing examiner will request one test manoeuvre at any time during the test and the possibility of the emergency stop procedure is 1-in-3.

The independent part of the driving test will require around 10 minutes. The Sheffield driving test routes may be available for Sheffield Driving Test Centre. These test routes will gain an understanding of the various roads that the examiner will require on the day. Study the difficult areas to gain the best chance of passing the driving test first time.

BOOKING A DRIVING TEST AT Sheffield DRIVING TEST CENTREs

Practical driving tests can be booked at either of the driving test centres listed above in Sheffield to take place throughout the week. Test centres can also offer Saturday tests during busy periods though this does cost slightly more than weekday bookings.
