THE DRIVING TEST IN Sidcup

Sidcup Driving Test Centre is situated in and around various road types, many of which will be taken during the driving test. The types of roads that form the test routes from Sicup Test Centre are high speed ‘A’ roads such as the A20 dual carriageway and busy town roads where traffic systems such as various roundabout types, crossroads and junctions.

An excellent knowledge of these systems from quiet unmarked to busy multi lane systems in essential. Residential streets are often a factor providing an ideal location for test manoeuvres.

The examiner also uses these roads to test your ability at negotiating oncoming traffic within narrow lanes – this usually involves passing parked cars whilst dealing with oncoming vehicles. The driving test will incorporate one of the four manoeuvres with the emergency stop procedure having a 1-in-3 possibility of being requested. The examiner will allow approximately 10 minutes of test time for independent driving. 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 Sidcup Driving Test Centre.
