Tottenham is within the London Borough of Harringay, located in a town, in north London, England. It is 6 miles north-northeast of Charing Cross and is located within the ceremonial county of Greater London. It borders different towns – it borders Edmonton to the North, Walthamstow, across River Lea (to the east), and Stamford Hill to the south with Wood Green and Harringay to the west.

Gradually Tottenham became a working class suburb of London and due to this, the area rapidly started to expand in the late-19th century. This then led to mass development of housing for the lower middle and working classes. A large amount of council housing started to develop after The Second World War which included a build of Tower Blocks and in 1965, the borough of Tottenham merged with two other boroughs known as Hornsey and Wood Green which then formed The London Borough of Harringay.

We know that you love hearing about pass rates in other test centers – this is why we were also excited when we found out that the DVSA started publishing the statistics for all of their test centers. From looking at the statistics, we can see that the national average pass rate in the UK is 45.9%. This percentage decreases for Learners, as the average pass rate for London is 40.8%. Please see the table below, it shows the statistics for the pass rates in Tottenham for the last five years.

So we can see that Tottenhams pass rates are lower than both the UK’s or London’s average pass rates. So we can see why you must be disappointed in this. We always tell learners to ignore pass rates – as it is all down to you and your skills on whether you pass the test or not.

Narrow Residential Roads

Due to it’s location in North London, driving in Tottenham involves many residential roads. You will spend a considerable amount of time during you semi intensive driving lessons in Tottenham on residential road

There are many residential roads in the area which can cause a problem with meeting oncoming vehicles and also getting close to parked cars. Whatever the situation, the DTC driving instructor will teach you to use the MSM routine. 

During your practical test, as soon as you see an oncoming vehicle approaching, the first thing you must do is to check the rear view mirror. After this, it would be advisable to slightly ease off the accelerator pedal as this will allow you time to think and decide.  Bear in mind that the driving test at Tottenham is based on safety before anything else. Therefore, if you have any doubt about whether to proceed or to stop, it would be advisable to take the side of caution and stop. 

Reverse Manoeuvres
During your semi intensive driving course at Tottenham,  you will be taught to reverse safely with due regard to other road users. There are four manoeuvres you will learn during your crash driving course. However, in the actual driving test, the examiner will choose one of them. The four manoeuvres include parallel parking, stopping on the right-hand side of the road and then reversing back, reversing into a bay, and finally driving forward into a bay and then reversing back. 

Mini roundabouts
There are several mini-roundabouts of the Tottenham driving test route. They often replace T-junctions in quieter residential areas to ease the flow of traffic. The rules at mini-roundabout are the same as normal roundabouts. However, bear in mind that you woud not need the “exit” signal when leaving the roundabout to follow the road, and you would not need the exit signal when turning right. Furthermore, it needs to be mentioned that although you need only give way to traffic on the right and have priority over traffic on the left, priority must be given and not taken.
