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.

Horrible centre, like someone else here failed 3 times and then on the fourth I was failed with only 2 minors. The last test I was failed for not moving my head far back to the right enough when doing my checks as I moved off... Complete nonsense, stick to south shields

Have to take my fifth test soon. Failed three times with six minors and the fourth with TWO minors. Each time they sit at the end of the test and tell myself and my instructor what a great driver I am but they cannot pass me today, it's just those couple of little things each one has said. Been told through all my learning there aren't expecting you to be perfect but it seems they are if they can pick to tiny minors to fail you on as they fancy it that day. Needs some kind of system in place for checking their fails.

My daughter has recently taken her second test at this centre and failed for the second time by the same examiner. Following her first negative experience with this examinerr she requested her instructor to go on the test with her. That same same day tests had been cancelled due to weather conditions. Her test was 9:17 am and previous tests that morning were cancelled! My daughter was failed , her driving instructor has discussed the test with her boss in detail and was informed she shouldn't have failed and it appears it was at the discretion of of the examiner . I'm guessing buy that , it was how she ( the examiner ) actually felt on the day ! Had she failed my daughter for major errors then I would not be writing a negative review . However I feel this is a case of how the examiner felt on the day .
