THE DRIVING TEST IN Preston

Located on the outskirts of Preston, the driving test from Preston Driving Test Centre will feature various road types to assess your ability at driving. City and town driving is to include all road traffic systems including roundabouts, often multi lane and mini roundabouts. Junctions from large light controlled to small residential unmarked junctions.

Crossroads of varying types are also often taken. Residential streets often present a challenge to learners due to meeting oncoming vehicles whilst driving on narrow lanes. The passing parked cars tutorial offers advice on best practices here.

Residential streets are often used for test manoeuvre purposes where one of the possible four will be requested. The choice of manoeuvres is for the examiner to decide. Rural country roads (see country road driving) and high speed ‘A’ roads such as the A583 which feature dual carriageway sections is likely.

The driving test from Preston Driving Test Centre will last around 30 to 40 minutes. 10 minutes will be used for independent driving. Every other test conducted, the examiner requires the emergency stop procedure to be demonstrated.

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 Preston Driving Test Centre.
