THE DRIVING TEST IN Tolworth

Many road types and conditions will be experienced on the driving test from Tolworth Driving Test Centre. Expect busy urban roads and high speed ‘A’ roads such as the A3 dual carriageway. Included in these roads are roundabouts from small mini roundabouts to large multi-lane systems.

Crossroads and junctions of varying sizes will also be present. Residential streets often feature presenting an ideal location for one of the possible four test manoeuvres. The roads represent an ideal location for the examiner to test your ability at meeting oncoming vehicles whilst on narrow streets (see passing parked cars).

 

The test may incorporate the emergency stop procedure. This exercise has a 1-in-3 possibility of being requested. The independent part of the driving test will require around 10 minutes of test time to complete. The practical driving test from Tolworth features many challenging roads, routes and roundabouts. Browsing the Tolworth driving test routes will offer you an insight into the various routes and roads likely to be taken on the test.




Focus on the difficult areas of test routes to gain a better advantage. Knowing each and every test route isn’t essential, though gaining an understanding of the particularly difficult areas of the test routes often proves beneficial. Examiners who conduct the tests develop the test routes for their test centres with the intention of taking the test candidate through as many varied road types and traffic systems as possible, within the time given.

“Very horrible examiners! They do fix fails for certain candidates as they need to meet the quotas”

“This test centre is dreadful. The majority of examiners are all miserable, arrogant and undermining plebs who don't know how to hold a conversation. They mark you down for things without a clear explanation on what you've done wrong and struggle to understand that applying more pressure on you doesn't help (like there isn't enough already). Wouldn't recommended this place for the life of me.”

“I have passed my driving test last Wednesday (08/03/2017) with only 2 minors and my examiner was so nice! His name was Chris Ashby. Honestly, I was so worried for my test after reading these reviews. But I wish I had never trusted them. As I said, my examiner was lovely! He was funny and nice and I felt very comfortable around him. The test centre itself was also good. I was told to wait in the waiting room by my driving instructor and the examiner came out to get me at exactly 11:00 (my test was at 11:01). He then checked my license and that was it. The test only lasted for about 40 minutes which went really quickly as my examiner was nice. Overall therefore, I would disagree with all these bad reviews and say that I'm glad I picked Tolworth as my test centre. Not only because my examiner was lovely and made me feel comfortable, but also because the waiting list for Isleworth was 5 months long whereas for Tolworth I only had to wait for about 1.5 month.”

“Sometime ago I failed several times on my full licence motorcycle tests here. Last week I passed first time round elsewhere & had to say something. I along many friends who've had the misfortune & those who've left numerous negative reviews here share the same concern about this shockingly awful test centre. Examiners seems to simply failing people on anything. I've been driving for many years & riding for few years during which, I witnessed many drivers overlooking many highway codes, many drivers/riders from other countries who aren't familiar to UK roads with some dreadful driving. These archaic highway codes that are overlooked daily & do not really apply in todays roads are money makers for this centre. Long gone logic, practicality, prudence, level headedness & good old fashion reasonable judgement on the individual's ability. Instead incompetence & ignorance prevails. You could blame the trainers/instructors for not sharing what's important & I guess this is the point. I understand training schools book/buy in advance slots in the centre & a good portion of the failed learners are naturally go back for more training & therefore more money for both centres. Scratch my back & I scratch yours. It does make logical sense. Anyone I came across didn't have anything good to say about this centre. I believe they're there to ruin your day & make you return for the benefit of both centres. Remember that is all they do & in all likelihood know nothing else. Intellectuals they aren't, they are driving examiners and that's all. From these reviews, examiners seem to be ignorant in many things in life. I'm not going to push the percentage of the nationality of the people who have failed/passed & are failing, I leave that for you to decide by checking the lines below & above. One friend failed for making few minor mistakes, one said just made it with nearly 10+ minors & he never had any experience three weeks ago, another two failed for similar reasons. Since I pay to the training school, I should have had the choice of another centre. I booked in another centre via different training school & passed first time round. Sadly, nobody of importance reads any of these reviews about this government centre that can actually make a difference or introduce/suggest/change anything that effect peoples' lives. Even if they are important people out there & read these reviews or know about this or other centres, they usually let it happen like many problems we have seen in the last few weeks/months/years/decades about variety of issues affecting people up & down the country & then they all come out of woodwork & say “lessons must be learned”! They should be ashamed of themselves.”

“Horrific test centre, my examiner was rude, sarcastic and actually continually insulted me. I would 100% stay away from this disaster of a test centre and go to Sutton or Morden as my examiner was actually very offensive.”

“I failed my driving test as the examiner had to jump on the breaks because I was so nervous. I knew that was a major and I had most likely failed so I decided to take the rest of the test as a learning experience as I had paid over £60 plus the use of my instructors. However, MIKE the examiner cut my test short by 20 minutes and was incredibly rude and impatient despite the fact I'm young, extremely nervous and this is my first test!!!! So nasty and horrible so watch out!!!”

“Even though I've failed twice, the examiners on both occasions (Barry and Mel) were really lovely, especially Mel. They talked to me and kept me really calm, and also told me what I needed to do to improve. Great test centre.”

“The first time I took a test here, I had an examiner (most likely polish or Eastern European by accent) who was fair and considerate. Although I failed the test as I misunderstood a round about, it was a fair result. The examiner would just give instructions and let me do the driving which I think is a fair way of examining. The second time I took the test, it was a woman named Charlotte who seemed to inclined to find an error. She would micromanage/overlay her own additional lane rules by suggesting to move to middle lane to take third exit on a round about when I was already positioned on the right lane. I positioned myself safely after the vehicle behind had begun to slow down leaving enough space, she marked this as a serious fault. Another serious fault she gave me was driving in middle lane in three lane road when I had to go straight as per her, if someone wanted to overtake it could be dangerous for them to overtake in the right lane. Not sure what the reason for the bias was but in none of the instances it was unsafe for my car or any other car. It is unfortunate that the driving test is not recorded on a video as it would probably keep biased examiner’s such as Charlotte in check.”

“If you have a test booked here change it now as you will not pass. I thought that the reviews were just from people who had just failed and that it can't as bad as they say. I was wrong, i have had 3 tests here all failed and for what were minors if that but put down as serious. My instructors had said the same. I booked elsewhere and passed with 4 minors. Avoid like the plague.”

“If you have a test booked here, change it now! Ridiculous fails that are not even minors. I failed because on one of tests my serious fault was that my eyes were looking too hard at the driver to my right when entering a round about! How could the examiner know what my eyes were looking at it I'm facing right?!? I have now passed after taking my test elsewhere. Although I did fail one it was perfectly fair. The next one I passed with 4 minors.”

“The worst test center ever. The examiners will fail you for anything! I should have known after my first (unfair) fail that I shouldn't rebook there. I only did so as they had the earliest test date. Now I know why! If it means waiting a bit longer book elsewhere because booking here is a waste of time and money. You will not pass here!”

“I failed my test today because the examiner was rude. His name was Mike and he was humming throughout my test. He was rude and grumpy. I asked him why I failed. He did not give a reasonable answer. He put one serious mistake which was observation. After asking him a few times why i failed. He said I didn't look back when i was reversing into bay parking which was not true as I looked so many times and I could tell he was getting angry at me. He even made fun of my name at the start as well. This is not m first time I took my test in this center. Some people are not but this guy was something else..”

“Don't take the exam here. The examiner was rude. His name is Muḥammad. He has very strong accent, and use very complicate English to ask me question. For instance, take the right left. What is right left? In the end, he give me a serious to fail me because I drive 20mph on a 30mph zone. Excuse me? The roads were narrow. There were many cars parked on both side, and there was oncoming traffic. Also, that area's speed limits are very wired. Some places 20mph, then immediately 30mph after a turn. My driving instructor was in the car, he was also piss off, he doesnt agree that driving 20mph speed on 30mph zone is a serious fault. At the end of the test, the examiner said, you don't know how to drive, you should go back to *** (my country) to learn!”
