THE DRIVING TEST IN Sunderland

As Sunderland Driving Test Centre is situated on the outer edge of Sunderland, the driving test will feature a varied amount of differing road types. The test may extend into rural country driving to include villages close to Sunderland.

Often high speed dual carriageways are taken such as the A19 as part of the standard test routes. In Sunderland itself, the examiner will be taking routes that feature many roundabouts, including mini and multi-lane busy roundabouts. Junctions and crossroads from busy light controlled to quiet unmarked.

Residential areas and streets may be used to perform one of the possible four test manoeuvres along with the emergency stop procedure having around a 1-in-3 possibility. The driving test from Sunderland Driving Test Centre will take place over a period of 30 to 40 minutes and will involve the independent part taking approximately 10 minutes.

The test routes are compiled by the examiners who conduct the tests at each specific test centre. Test routes are compiled to utilise as many varied road types and traffic systems as possible so to ensure the test candidate is proficient in all aspects of driving. Test routes often include difficult parts and by gaining knowledge of the routes offers valuable insight into what to expect on the test. Driving test routes may be available to view or a downloadable app for your mobile device in your area, including Sunderland Driving Test Centre.
