Leeds Driving Test Centres

There are two practical driving test centres within Leeds. The driving test centres for Leeds will incorporate many diverse road types and traffic systems.

Expect busy and fast paced ‘A’ roads and dual carriageways through to high speed rural roads (see the country road driving tutorial for advice on using these road types). The examiner from Leeds driving test centres will be assessing your ability on many traffic systems from roundabouts (from large multi-lane to mini roundabouts), crossroads to various junction types. The driving test often includes narrow residential roads that appear quiet but are often hazardous due to oncoming traffic and narrow lanes and parked cars.

The passing parked cars tutorial helps novice drivers. One driving test manoeuvre will be requested from the possible four that the examiner has to choose from. The emergency stop procedure has a 1-in-3 possibility of being requested. Approximately 10 minutes of the driving test is reserved for independent driving which involves following basic maps displayed by the examiner, following road signs or a combination of both.

Certain driving test centres operate driving test at weekends on Saturdays. The level of traffic congestion during Saturdays is often much less making it beneficial for the driving test. Booking a driving test on Saturdays incurs a slightly higher test fee. Some of the Leeds driving test routes are available for viewing and will gain you the advantage of knowing the various road types likely to be taken from your chosen Leeds Driving Test Centre. Understanding the difficult parts of the test routes will gain the most advantage such as busy roads and complicated roundabouts.
