Gloucester – Out Skirts of Town

Situated on the outskirts of town you will find the Gloucester Driving Test Centre. Due to this location, you should expect a deal with both busy city roads and rural country roads. The driving examiner will want to see high-level skills at various road junctions including roundabouts and crossroads.

Gloucester – Busy Fast Roads

Busy ‘A’ roads such as the A38 are likely the driving test. Many drivers, not just learner drivers find these types of road difficult. This is mainly due to the potential high speeds and the sharp corners. Although the speed limit on many of the roads is 60 mph, you must bear in mind that all speed limits are maximums and not targets to be reached. You should always be able to stop within the distance that you can see to be clear. The driving test from Gloucester will last approximately 40 to 45 minutes. During this time, you will be required to do 20 minutes of independent driving, one reversing manoeuvre and possibly the emergency stop exercise.
