Leicester Driving Test Centres

There are two practical driving test centres in Leicester. The test centres are multipurpose and one test centre offers lorry test (LGV).

Driving tests from the Leicester Driving Test Centres involve difficult and hazardous roads within the test routes. Test routes are designed specifically by the examiners at the test centres to involve varied roads and traffic systems, often involving some of the most challenging within the area. An excellent and safe understanding of road traffic systems such as roundabouts, mini roundabouts, crossroads and junctions of various types is essential.

The test often involves narrow residential roads that can be difficult due to oncoming vehicles and width constraints. These roads often have parked cars – see the passing parked cars tutorial for help on this. High speed dual carriageways are often on the test routes and rural roads can also be taken. For novice drivers, rural roads can be challenging due to assessing the correct speed for the often harsh corners. The country road driving tutorial helps with understanding this.

The driving test will involve one of the four test manoeuvres to be chosen by the examiner and the emergency stop procedure that has a 1-in-3 possibility of being requested. Approximately 10 minutes of test time is designated to independent driving. Independent driving simply involves following a basic map displayed by the examiner before setting off, following road signs or a combination of both.
