Knaresborough – Both Urban and Rural Roads

Situated amongst both urban and rural roads is Knaresborough Driving Test Centre. But of these road types are likely to appear in the driving test and both have their own sets of hazards. The busy urban roads of Knaresborough will allow the examiner to test your ability at dealing with road systems such as roundabouts, crossroads and both open and closed junctions. These urban roads will also use to carry out the reverse manoeuvre and possibly the emergency stop exercise. Knaresborough a large number of narrow roads which can be a problem for learner drivers due to oncoming vehicles.

Knaresborough – Potholes

The rural country roads on the outskirts of Knaresborough are not as well maintained as town roads. Learner drivers should, therefore, expect a deal with unusual hazards such as potholes and uneven road surface. Furthermore, there is the added hazard of horse riders and farm machinery.

Knaresborough – Independent Driving

During the 40 minutes’ drive from Knaresborough practical test centre, the examiner will set aside half the time for the independent driving section. During this section of the test, you may be required to follow directions given by a satnav. The satnav will usually take you along busy “A” roads such as the A59 and the A659. If the driving examiner chooses not to use a satnav, they will request that you follow road signs to a set destination. If you need out as to where you’re going, regardless of which method you are following, you can always ask for confirmation from the examiner. The driving examiner will help you and not mark you down for this.
