Wood Green is in the borough of Haringey in London, England. It got its name from the words ‘Woodlegh’ or ‘Woodlea’ -this is a Saxon word  which means open ground near a wood. In this case, this relates to an opening in Tottenham Wood; this is a large area of woodland which covered most of this area and and westward to Muswell Hill.

In the 14th century, a large number of estates started to develop around Wood Green – this included the Manor of Ducketts and a handful of other smaller estates. In the 17th century a major survey of land was conducted by The Lord of Tottenham Manor, the Earl of Dorset. The survey showed that Wood Green (which is the western half of Tottenham had only 16 houses which meant that they only had 50 people living in the area. The number of people in the area started to increase in the early 19th century – by the middle of the 19th century this had increased to 400 people.

The Great Northern Railway Line Station was introduced at Wood Green in 1859 – due to this, further development of the area was encouraged. Similarly, by the end of the 19th century much of the Wood Green area had been built up and whatever was left, was built up in the earlier 20th century.

As well as test routes, learner drivers are also interested in pass rates at their chosen driving test center. On a positive note, the DVS has started to publish statistics on pass rates and we have gathered information for you here. The national UK’s average pass rate is 45.9% and as for learners who are situated in Greater London have a pass rate of 40.8%. So you’re probably thinking what the pass rates for Wood Green are. Please see the table below for the pass rates in Wood Green for the last five years.

So things are not looking that good for Wood Green; it has lower pass rates than the UK’s and London’s average – they do not exactly make you feel confident. But do not be worried, and do not focus to much on these pass rates, as the outcome of your test, depends on you.

Reading the Number Plate
Having checked your identity documents, the examiner will ask you to read a number plate from a distance of 20 metres. If you wear glasses to read the number plate, they must be worn throughout the test. Furthermore, after passing the test, your licence will be marked as only valid if glasses are worn. 

If you are unable to read the number plate at the first attempt, the examiner will allow you another attempt. If you still can not read the number plate, the examiner will measure the exact distance and give you a final attempt. You may wish you write the number on a paper rather than read them aloud. If you fail to read or write on the third attempt, the test will be marked failed. More importantly, you will not be able to rebook another test until you can prove that your eyesight is up to the required standard. If you are taking a semi intensive driving course with DTC, we will always make sure that your eye-sight is checked on your first driving lesson.

Independent Drive
The independent drive takes up half of the driving test at Wood Green. It is not an opportunity for you to program the sat-nav for the beach, put on the cruise control, and head off wherever you like. The examiner can ask you to follow road signs and road markings to a set destination or ask to follow directions given by a satnav. 

The independent drive is a bit different to normal driving. Let’s say you’re doing a semi intensive crash course with DTC, your instructor will say, “at the roundabout, turn right.” Immediately, you know that you are approaching a roundabout. You also know that you need to start the MSM routine. 

However, in the independent driving section of the practical test, you will need to identify that you are approaching a roundabout and then you need to decide when to start the Mirror, Signal & Manoeuvre routine. 

If you’re unsure as to where you are going, you can ask the examiner. The driving examiners at Wood Green will not mind and will willingly help you. This is because they know that you have identified the roundabout in good time and want to start the MSM routine. Having said this, if you reached the roundabout and then asked the examiner which direction you were going, they would not help you because, at that point, you may already be in the wrong position to turn where the examiner wanted you to go.

PEDESTRIAN CROSSING
There are several pedestrian crossings in the Wood Green area. People have been known to fail their tests to technical knowledge of the crossing rather than driving itself. This is way part of the intensive driving lessons in Wood Green will ensure that you understand fully not only how to deal with pedestrian crossings but how to deal with pedestrians in general. 

It is important to note that a zebra crossing running across the road without a break in it is counted as one crossing. The driver must wait until the pedestrian is completely of the road. However, a zebra crossing with a break, due to a central reservation in the middle, is counted as two completely separate crossings. Therefore, if the pedestrian has safely crossed your side of the road and is on the central reservation, you as a driver may proceed. 

On the Wood Green driving test route, if you encounter a traffic light crossing, it could be either a pelican crossing or the puffin crossing. 

At a pelican crossing the light will change from red to flashing amber which means that a driver must wait for any pedestrian to cross the road. However, if there are no pedestrians on the road, the driver should proceed through the flashing amber lights. On a puffin crossing, there is no flashing amber. Instead, after red, the light will change to red and amber together before changing to green. The red and amber light together means that you must wait for the green light before proceeding. 

Unlike a zebra crossing, if a light-controlled crossing has a central reservation in the middle, it is still counted as one crossing and the driver must wait until the pedestrian is full of the road. The only time a light-controlled crossing is treated as two separate crossings is if it has a central reservation that is “staggered”
