THE DRIVING TEST IN Sutton

The driving test from Sutton Driving Test Centre will feature many challenging roads and traffic systems. Roundabouts of all types are to be taken as are junctions and crossroads. The test will also feature residential streets that are ideal to test your ability at dealing with oncoming traffic whilst driving on narrow streets or lanes and passing parked cars.

Residential roads are often used for test manoeuvres due to being slightly quieter. The examiner will also be testing you on busy ‘A’ roads. The test is to include one of the potential four manoeuvres along with the emergency stop procedure having a 1-in-3 possibility of being requested.

 

All practical tests now include around 20 minutes of independent driving. 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 Sutton Driving Test Centre.

“Had 2 tests at this centre. No toilets which is a huge turn-off for nervous drivers. 1st examiner was male and rather serious which didn't help nerves, second was a stand-in female called Janet and was lovely. Average test centre”

“Mixed feeling. 2 ladies examiners working there. Were very polite but very strick as well. Both failed me. Passed yesterday with men named Kyp who was a fantastic examiner. Had a chat with him during the test which helped beat mine nerves to minimum. 2 minors only! Thank you so much Kyp. You made my day!!!”

“My examiner shouted at me on the test for waiting too much for turning left and immediately turning right because there were cars waiting behind. I was too shocked I made several mistakes afterwards. And he failed me saying you actually now how to drive so next time.”

“My examiner was a female called Julie. She was very rude, I failed because I apparently never saw a bus coming towards me and I never gave way, but I did see the bus and I was about to give way, the bus was ages away so I had plenty of time to give way, Julie grabbed the wheel and shouted 'STOP" which was very dramatic because I saw the bus coming and had plenty of time to give way. I did tell her I saw the bus and was going to stop anyway but she just ignored me and then when we returned to the test centre, she failed me.”

“Hi Everyone, this centre is an absolute disgrace!!! Examiners are absolutely rude and the one with long hair will find it ok to shout at you all the way through the test so be prepared! Even the doorman there is rude! No patience, no manners. I am starting a social media campaign against this centre. People must know! I've got licence 15 years ago; I'm driving around Europe on my old driving licence from the different country. Was driving 1 year in London. No penalties, even once! Then I had to change my driving license into UK one but in order to do so I had to pass a test. Theory from the first attempt. Sure if it was any 'examiner' from this centre they would have found an excuse to fail. They hate foreigners by the way!!! I wish I had a computer next to me - no doubt I would have passed any of my three attempts. These test examiners are just miserable people whose biggest achievemnt in life is this test school :)))) They just need to fail 'x' amount of people for their records and it make them slightly more worthy if they fail someone who actually have a proper job. QUESTION: How come I was totally fine on the road for the 1st year in London with no points or even penalties and now 3 village idiots oversudden decided that I'm not good enough to drive on the London road??? How ridiculous is that? If any of the examiners are reading this, do you mind to answer? I'm sure you will not have guts to do so racist MONEY GRABBERS! That's all what you are, pathetic...”

“Finally passed after 3 goes. Awful test centre! There are no toilets, so that's a bad way to start! I had 2 men that were not nice at all! They were really strict and told me things at the last minute- meaning I would get a fail. Not impressed. But 3rd time lucky. Finally passed with this man. He seemed very nice and relaxed.”

“Disgraceful - no toilets, doesn't help if you're nervous. Failed the first time, but the examiner Rob was very kind and made me feel at ease. The second time I had Kyp, who was absolutely disgraceful. Rude and very cold - does not make you feel at ease. Pray you don't get him!”

“"Kyp" (not sure if that's his name - illegible handwriting) was an absolute disgrace. He thinks it's alright to be rude as an examiner - he does not make you feel at ease at all. I have seen other comments on here that he was chatty with some test takers - His attitude was appalling, please sack him. Anyone looking to take a test in London - STAY AWAY FROM SUTTON! My instructor was keen on Sutton from the beginning, I wondered why...after reading these comments (after the test :/), I know why!”

“AVOID THIS TEST CENTRE - one start for this test centre is an understatement. I would like to see the pass rate for this driving test centre and the individual driving instructors. if you are about to book your test please do read the below feedback. This driving centre is the worse I ever experienced. I am a professional driver that has UK and International Class 1 driving licence. I followed my daughter when she had her test the instructor from Sutton has told her to turn left at a roundabout when she was in right lane, confused her completely as a new driver it doesn't take much. Instead of telling her you didn't follow my instruction go around the roundabout and turn left that way he insisted she turns left there and then. She had no minor and he failed her. Its a money making test centre.”

“That was my 3rd attempt with Sutton Test Center and their team and unfortunately I failed. I just want to say that Examiner Kyp and Rob are very nice professional and helped me to calm my nerves on my first and second test. Even I did not pass I understood their feedback. Experience with Examiner Paul wasn't nice I had the feeling that he wants to fail me. He gave me very hard bit one(compare with two test i had before)after another and he caught me (this is how I felt)almost in the end of my test. Instead of help me to stay calm he makes me feel the pressure. I'm done with this Center and I hope I never meet someone like Paul again.”
