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.

Bonnie is a miserable old woman that does not have any social skills whatsoever she rarely asks you questions and when she does she ignores you so it’s like talking to a brick wall. I would rather watch paint dry then be in the car with her again. She is so impatient and will fail you for the smallest things. Don’t come here if you want to pass as she thinks the speed limit is too slow and will blame you instead. She thinks you cause traffic but it’s the red traffic light. Miserable needs to retire
Really unfair marking all examiners are out to fail you for the most silliest thing ever don’t recommend this centre whatsoever really annoyed with this place
Peter was a thoroughly decent examiner, he was calm and friendly, would recommend Sidcup over Belvedere every day of the week. The route had a good mix of dual carriageway, main road, country road and residential.
I wish I had read the Google reviews before my test instead of these reviews. If you have a test at sidcup please dont be put of by these reviews like I was. These people are not your friends, they are examiners and they are solely there to make sure you are a competent driver, after all they are giving you a licence for life. I was a total wreck, I had a examiner called Tim and I knew he could tell I was a bag of nerves but he kept me calm gave clear instructions in plenty of time and I passed with three minors and I knew exactly as I'd done them too. We made small talk but I think he could tell that I just wanted to concentrate so he left me to do my thing. As long as you drive as your instructor has taught you, your going to pass!
Staff are rude and patronising. Bad attitude and not friendly. Do not recommend.
