Plymouth Driving Test Centre

There are two practical driving test centres in Plymouth. A test centre that conducts tests for cars and motorcycles, and another for large vehicles (LGV).

The driving test for cars from Plymouth Driving Test Centre will feature many different road types and systems as featured on the driving test routes. City driving will test your ability at such systems as roundabouts, crossroads and junctions of various types and sizes. Residential areas and streets are taken and often used for test manoeuvre purposes and expect one of the possible four manoeuvres to be requested. Which manoeuvre you are asked to demonstrate is the decision of the examiner.

Residential areas often have narrow lanes with parked cars and are used to test your ability at meeting oncoming vehicles with the possibility of giving way. The passing parked cars guide offers advice on these narrow roads. High speed ‘A’ roads such as the A38 dual carriageway is likely as are rural country roads. The driving test from Plymouth will last around 30 – 40 minutes, 10 minutes of which will be designated to independent driving. The likely hood of the emergency stop is in the region of 1-in-3.

Test centre routes are designed by the examiners who conduct practical tests at their local test centre. The routes are designed in such a way so to involve as many diverse roads and traffic systems as possible, often including very challenging parts. Gaining knowledge of the test routes provides valuable insight into the type of roads that will be taken during your test. Driving test routes may be available to view or a downloadable app for your mobile device in your area, including Plymouth Driving Test Centre.
