THE DRIVING TEST IN Loughborough
Loughborough Driving Test Centre is situated around busy urban roads and rural roads. Busy town driving will test your ability at many road systems including roundabouts, junctions and crossroads. Rural country driving is likely as are high speed ‘A’ road such as the A6 dual carriageway.
Rural roads can be difficult for learner drivers, often due to understanding the correct speed for the often harsh corners. The country road driving tutorial helps with understanding this. The examiner will request a single test manoeuvre along with the emergency stop procedure having a 1 in 3 possibility of being requested.
Test routes are available for many of the UK practical driving test centres and may include Loughborough driving test routes. The routes aid test candidates in gaining an understanding of the various roads and systems that the examiner will take you on during your test. Routes can be viewed on this website or downloaded as an app.

I failed my test for the third time, my own fault and every instructor I had has been lovely, I had my last test on the 11th of october and it was the same lady as last time I cant remember her name. but I wanted to praise her she really is so reassuring and helpful even though I had failed and I knew I did, she really did reassure me not to give up and get booked in again!
Got Dale as my driving examiner. So have 2 of my friends and we all passed on our first test at Loughborough. He makes you feel very at ease and is a generally cool guy and pretty lenient i think!!
I'm starting to feel as though it is fixed or maybe because I am indian. I took my 4th test and failed because of something he remembered me saying out loud. I had said I am just getting into my lane .. talking to myself and so he's aware. But somehow used that against me to fail me. He claimed I wasn't in my lane but I was turning on a bend into that same lane. Thinking maybe Leicester would be a better option as it seems it's a money making scam. I gave the drive of my life. To be fair he was kind of nice too but I felt he had to fail me.
I had a terrible examiner named Bal (asian lady), and unfortunately I felt like she failed me for minor that she regarded as major. For a simple hesitation at the roundabout (safe cautious driving), she failed me. Furthermore, she makes you feel very uncomfortable and nervous which made my test terrifying. I would advise her to make the people comfortable and at ease- by smiling for a starter!
My experience has been the complete opposite to the previous reviews. Firstly, I was led to believe that I would have to wait considerable weeks (maybe even months) to get a test date of my choosing, in reality it was a month at most. Secondly, my examiner was Bal and compared to other reviewers I found her incredibly nice and friendly who put me at ease right from the get-go. We had a lovely chat whilst I was undertaking the test, which made me feel even more relaxed. I found her instructions both clearly audible and concise. Thankfully I passed, (with only 5 minor faults) which in part I put down to Bal making me feel comfortable, which I told her so, as I feel that constructive criticism should be a two-way thing. Obviously, as I passed I'm going to say that it was a very positive experience, but even if I hadn't I wouldn't have held Bal responsible as she was just such a lovely person.
