THE DRIVING TEST at Garretts Green
Garretts Green Driving Test Centre provides tests for lorries (LGV), bus and cars. The test starts off at an industrial area and will extend into various other routes. Expect the examiner to take you along a wide variety of roads, from busy town driving, high speed ‘A’ roads, dual carriageways and the possibility of rural type roads.
Rural roads often have a national speed limit (60mph) and when combined with harsh bends, can represent a challenge. The country road driving tutorial offers guidance on how to use such roads. During town driving, the test routes are designed to take you through as many traffic systems as possible.
Tutorials for such systems include crossroads, junctions and roundabouts (including mini roundabouts) of all types and sizes. Independent driving utilises basic maps and directions from the examiner and takes around 10 minutes of the test.
Expect the test to include one of the possible four test manoeuvres along with the emergency stop. The Garretts Green driving test routes may alter slightly during the practical but will generally detail the various routes that the examiner will take you on.

Just passed with Toby. A very chill guy. I felt as i was just driving around with family or friends. Made me feel very comfortable. Big up Toby.
If you have Tracey as your examiner, please know that you have no chance at passing. She made me feel so uncomfortable from the minute we sat in the car. She needs to get her attitude sorted. She failed for me for something that could have definitely been avoided if she had just listened to me and let me go out the rest centre how every other examiner was taking their student out. My instructor had told me that there is no way that she’s examining me next time and my instructor has asked about her and every instructor she asked they said ‘Tracey has no mercy, she hardly passes anyone’ - pissed me right off
Examiners dreadful particularly Mohammed. I will certainly not be spending another £500 to retake my test here and risk having him or someone just as bad again. These people should take a leaf out of the amazing LGV instructors book.
Today i had my test here and passed paul was my examiner made me feel very comfortable an relaxed thank you paul your brill
Had my exam today for my lgv with the examiner Muhammed the guy was quiet all through the test which i didnt mind but what suprised me was the fact he failed me over the staff i was already doing claiming l wasnt checking my blind spot and not checking to see if there was a car coming on a junction which i did l honestly think in all my opinion better to stay away from this test centre as they find anything!!! To fail you on
