Bristol Driving Test Centre

There are three driving test centres in Bristol. Brislington, Kingswood and Southmead. The Bristol Driving Test Centres will feature many complex and difficult urban roads.

One-way-systems, busy junctions, crossroads and multi-lane roundabouts will feature heavily from all of the Bristol Driving Test Centres. Residential roads, although being quiet, have narrow lane constraints and represent a hazard due to oncoming traffic.

High speed primary ‘A’ roads such as the A4175, A4018 and A4 are highly likely to feature. Roads such as these need a good understanding of approaching traffic speed before joining. All 4 driving test manoeuvres need to be thoroughly learnt. One of these will be requested by the driving examiner.

Each practical driving test features a 1 in 3 chance of the emergency stop procedure being requested and all driving tests will feature around 10 minutes of independent driving. The driving test centres in Bristol are detailed below.
