THE DRIVING TEST IN Sutton Coldfield
The driving test is designed to incorporate as many varied roads as possible. Complex traffic systems are common in busy city areas. Large multi-lane roundabouts leading to dual carriageway systems, busy junctions and crossroads are to be expected.
Often the test routes can take you out of city areas into country lanes and villages. See the country road driving tutorial for advice on these road types. Residential areas or out of town villages are used for test manoeuvres. One of the four manoeuvres will be requested. Out of every three tests conducted, one of these includes the emergency stop.
The 30 to 40 minutes test includes around 10 minutes of independent driving. Further information can be found in the What to expect on the driving test section. The test routes are compiled by the examiners who conduct the tests at each specific test centre. Test routes are compiled to utilise as many varied road types and traffic systems as possible so to ensure the test candidate is proficient in all aspects of driving.
Test routes often include difficult parts and by gaining knowledge of the routes offers valuable insight into what to expect on the test. Driving test routes may be available to view or a downloadable app for your mobile device in your area, including Sutton Coldfield Driving Test Centre.

My daughter had a driving Examiner who could not even fit in the car.
Constantly interrupted her in her test which confused her . There’s a reason why certain parts of Bham favour this test centre , very poor standard of Examining . Avoid at all costs !!
Had my test last month 12/02, my examiner was humane. She was lovely, though I was anxious, she spoke with me for the entire test to get me calm. I just wish all examiners were the same, the men especially tries to intimidate students, they are always grumpy and not seem to be intelligent enough to strike simple conversation to relax students.
I understand that everyone can drive, but not everyone is a driver.
They will fail students if:
If the test is too early and I supposed they haven’t had their coffee ( why put these test times out; It waste peoples money and time)
If the test is late in the afternoon and they want to go home early (why not complete your job properly like every other working class individual?)
DVLA needs rebooting, they need examiners like Noushe, the 5 stars are for her, she is a gem. She understands her role unlike her male colleagues.
I took my test at this test centre today and passed with flying colours. The examiner was really nice. She began to make me feel comfortable by speaking to me openly and having a conversation like I’ve met her before. Casual conversations between the whole 35-40 minutes of the test made me feel more relaxed and I knew I was getting close to passing and had faith in myself. She even told me how some students don’t indulge in a conversation and happily told me how she appreciated speaking to me and having a laugh. If you’re reading this (Dear Examiner), you’re an absolute gem and you made my day even better. Stay safe and do what you do best 🙂
After I arrived for the exam, I exited the vehicle and put my mask on. When I got to the door a lady walked out and said that I violated the Covid 19 regulations by driving in and parking the car without the mask. I was still charged for the exam that didn’t take place.
I was on my lesson, had taken my facemask off for a second at the centre prior to my test, and a religious looking short bearded examiner, who WASN'T wearing a face mask, comes and moans at my instructor and I without listening to our reasoning.
Then when I come to do my test, I had a mask on here, they tell me they can't do my test because I didn't have one on my lesson even though this is no concern of theirs. Talk about abuse of power 🙂
