Within Gillingham, there are two practical test centres. One test centre that conducts tests for Cars and motorcycles, and the other for Lorries, large vehicles and buses (LGV).
Located on and around busy urban roads, Gillingham Driving Test Centre will incorporate many road systems during the driving test. The examiner will require you to demonstrate your ability at such systems as roundabouts, crossroads and junction. The test is also likely to involve narrow street residential roads that provide hazardous conditions due to width constraints. See passing parked cars guide for advice on these road types. Busy and often high speed ‘A’ roads such as the A278 and rural roads are also likely.
The country road driving tutorial offers advice on challenging rural road, in particular for judging the correct speed for bends. The emergency stop procedure has a 1-in-3 possibility of being requested. One of the potential four driving test manoeuvre will be requested. The Gillingham driving test routes may alter slightly during the practical but will generally detail the various routes that the examiner will take you on.

Had my test today with Tony who demonstrated all the professionalism and friendliness you would expect from an examiner. He remained calm throughout, helped to ease any nerves I did have and was even kind enough to make as clear as possible where he wanted me to pull up, turn in, lane positioning for ‘that’ Tesco roundabout, etc. Unfortunately I didn’t pass on account of undue hesitation (which was a completely fair decision) but it was a much smoother (and dare I say more enjoyable!) experience than at Maidstone previously. Definitely would recommend this as the preferred test centre in the ME postcode area. Hopefully will be back for Round 2 soon!
I had my driving test today. And I had an examiner called Nigel. I was super nervous and actually dreading today but upon meeting Nigel he completely put my mind at ease, he was calm and helped my nerves so much. I just want to say the test site was really well placed and everyone was very friendly and encouraging. But a big thank you to Nigel for making my test experience enjoyable a truly lovely man.
I just wanted to say thank you to my instructor today. Unfortunately I don’t remember his name but he made me feel very confortable, explained what to expect during the test. I was very stressed but everything went very well. Thank you so much!
Just wanted to say thanks to my examiner Ben for being so nice and friendly.
My examiner Angie was lovely. She made me feel comfortable and at ease I believe this was a main factor for me passing as I struggle with nerves. Thankyou Angie, great place to do your driving test
