THE DRIVING TEST IN Swindon
Swindon Driving Test Centre is situated around the outskirts of Swindon, enabling the possibility of rural country driving during the driving test. In Swindon itself, expect a wide variety of road types and traffic systems. Dual carriageway systems such as the A3102 Great Western Way may feature.
The examiner will expect a high level of safety, regard for other road users and knowledge for all traffic systems including roundabouts, both mini and large multi-lane. Crossroads and junctions of all types are also to feature. Requested will be one test manoeuvre and the emergency stop procedure have approximately 1-in-3 possibility.
All practical tests for cars now feature a segment called independent driving. This simply involves following a basic map shown to you by the examiner before moving off. It may also involve following road signs or a combination of both. 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 Swindon Driving Test Centre.

yo my gang, i tried to brute force a pass like hacking school taught me, hasn't worked yet tho
Should be all examiners sake out there
No one has qualification
Absolute JOKE.
I failed because of a very VERY unfair driver on the back of my car that was actually driving at a higher speed and didn’t give me enough time to position myself before the entrance of the roundabout. Of course she failed me automatically and didn’t EVEN consider the fact that the other driver was speeding on a 30mph (probably at least 45/50mph) pushing me and trying to take over from my left, funny thing all being watched by the examiner. I’ve been driving for 15 years, just out of curiosity (I’m not from here). Now I’m changing jobs I’m required to have a UK full driver’s license, and now stuck with this absolute joke!
Recently I had my test and although COVID procedures were done well and quickly. As well as the test going to plan to result in a Pass, my only complaint would be how horrible and rude my examiner was. She tried her best to make me feel ashamed of my driving at every opportunity and even refused to remind me of directions when I asked. To top it off her behaviour towards my (polite and kind) driving instructor was unprofessional and was frankly that of a sad, pathetic bully. Discounting the result of my test, the experience was about as unpleasant as it could have been and was made worse by what seemed to be her taking pleasure out of criticising my driving after the test was finished in a manner that would suggest I had failed before revealing I had actually passed.
TBH this test centre is a disgrace. My wife had her 1st test and failed and I was very surprised as she is a much better driver than I was when I took my driving test 30 years ago and passed 1st time. On 1st occasion had Mark S and wife said he was extremely rude and didn't make her feel comfortable at all. I therefore decided to sit in on the 2nd test and who should she have again Matk S!!!!! Well..........from the start this guy has to be 1 of the most rudest , arrogant person I have ever met in my life. The test result was another fail and what he was saying she failed on was incorrect. During the pull up alongside manoeuvre (on a blind bend also of all places), I witnessed my wife check her mirrors, blind spot and reversed perfectly within 1 car length with only being 1 inch away from the kerb. She continued to keep reversing back to 2 car lengths checking both mirrors and following the curve of the road perfectly!!!! Keeping 1 inch from the kerb the whole time.
It was this monoevure and the only part of the driving test that my wife was marked against. Even during the test , it was a very humid day and unfortunately the back windows were locked. I was trying as discretely as I could to cool myself down and was then extremely rudely spoken to by examiner saying, "that's the second time, if it happens again, I will stop the test immediately". I was gobsmacked !!! and had done nothing wrong. He was very lucky I didn't tell him to get out of my car immediately and sparked him 1, as he would deserved it!!! Obviously didn't as it woukd not have been fair on my wife. Unfortunately due to health reasons I am in a lot of pain when driving these days and to take the piss even more, my wife has had to now wait 2 months between each test as it is the earliest. I can't emphasise enough how aweful the experience must be for any learner driver taking their test with unprofessional examiners like this asswipe!!!! I would give zero stars as a rating as 1 was way over generous
