THE DRIVING TEST IN Tilbury
The driving test from Tilbury Driving Test Centre often takes you into other villages and towns such as Grays and the Chadwell area via the A1089 Dock Road dual carriageway. Other areas during the driving test from Tilbury often also include rural country road driving.
In-town driving will assess your ability for many traffic systems such as junctions, crossroads and roundabouts of all types. The examiner will request a single test manoeuvre, often in residential areas. These areas are often used to assess passing distance from parked vehicles (see passing parked cars) and cyclists.
The test has around a 1-in-3 possibility of involving the emergency stop with the introduction of independent driving that usually lasts around 10 minutes. Knowing each and every test route isn’t essential, though gaining an understanding of the particularly difficult areas of the test routes often proves beneficial.
Examiners who conduct the tests develop the test routes for their test centres with the intention of taking the test candidate through as many varied road types and traffic systems as possible, within the time given.
This is to ensure test candidates can deal with all situations and often involves difficult areas. Driving test routes may be available to view or a downloadable app for your mobile device in your area, including Tilbury Driving Test Centre.

Upon speaking to driving instructors and also looking online at the gov website, I found that, on my second attempt, when I was taken on a motorway in the last 10 mins of my test, this is actually not allowed??? I done perfectly during the entire test, did not fail on a single thing but the second I got onto the motorway and was 5 mins away from the test centre, the instructor failed me on ‘being too close to the car infront of me’ which never happened?! I cannot believe it’s been 2 years and i was not aware I couldn’t be taken on a motorway on my practical test. I feel scammed… it was with the guy (cannot remember his name but I believe it is Joe) who is known for failing anyone and everyone. Is anyone aware about this?? I will be reporting this:)))
My first driving test was a terrible experience after having Sue. I felt I drove very well considering how rude this examiner was and how uncomfortable she made me feel through out the test. Her marking was very harsh and feel I would not return to tilbury to re take my test with examiners like her there. She had no people skills at all considering this is a very nervous experience for people.
I’d like to make a complaint in regards to the examiner sue on my driving test.
It was the second time that I have had Mrs .sue ? on this test and on both occasions it was evident that she was not up to the professional standards that a test examiner needs to be.
I felt very vulnerable and intimidated on both occasions through the tests.
She was rude throughout both tests and made me feel extremely uncomfortable.
I do not think that she gives a fair or honest assessment on the driving of not only my self but other learners who have held the same opinion of what I currently hold.
I think a review is needed to make sure that she is keeping up with the necessary standards for this job.
I am sure I will not be the only person who will be putting in this complaint.
Regards,
Katrina Doherty.
I writing this review not only because I passed. Today 3/03/2022 I had my test at the tilbury test centre with Jo (not sure if I have the wright spelling). I was super nervous however I found the tone of his voice very calming and reassuring. He was clear and concise with his instructions and not sarcastic and demeaning in anyway like I previously examiners I have had. This was my 5th go at my driving test and he is the second examiner who has been really good at not making me feel scared and nervous. It goes a long way having someone like this. Even when I failed I made sure to let the previous examiner who was nice to me know as it helps candidates in the future.
Advice for others, if doesn’t matter who your examiner is, always ask questions if you are unsure and try to remain calm and confident even when you think you have made a major mistake.
My friend took her test in her own car twice in tilbury testing centre, both times she had a female (different) examiners.
My friend has held her non Uk diving listener for over 20 years and has been driving in the uk for over a year now. She has never been involved or caused an accident in all those years! Not even a parking fine! She can’t exchange her current license to Uk, hence she has to do a test.
She is an experienced and confident driver, but they failed her twice. Ok, first time she didn’t check the mirrors enough, so she knew to make sure to check them next time, yet that was one of the reasons examiner Sue failed her the second time, along with not following the distance, which is a complete nonsense! She has taken lessons with an instructor beforehand, who explained and practiced with her everything and was confident she will pass this time.
I strongly believe Sue failed her for no reason. Don’t know what they get out of it, but I have traveled with my friend behind the wheel for thousands of miles and know that she is a good driver. I’ve been driving in the Uk for 9 years every day myself and know the rules, so can judge my friends abilities confidentiality.
Avoid this testing centre at all costs!
Good luck to you all!
