Leighton Buzzard – Residential Roads

Leighton Buzzard driving test centre is located on both residential roads and country lanes. Both of which are likely to appear in the test. Many learner drivers start practising required residential roads and spend a lot of their time on these roads. They, therefore, feel more confident on the residential roads than they do on the country lanes.

Leighton Buzzard – Country Lanes

The country lanes which surround Leighton buzzard are not as well maintained as the residential roads of the town. Therefore, you should expect to deal with hazards such as potholes and uneven road surface. Plenty of practice is required on these country lanes as many of them are high speeds with extremely sharp bends. “A” roads such as the A505 are also likely to appear on the driving test.

Leighton Buzzard – Pulling Up on the Left

The driving test from Leighton Buzzard will last approximately 40 minutes. It will include one reverse manoeuvre, emergency stop exercise and 20 minutes of independent driving. Also during the driving test, the driving examiner will ask you to pull up on the left and move off again several times. This is done for various reasons. Examiner may want to see if you pull up on the left without stopping on anyone’s driveway or pull up on the left without hitting the curb. Of course, once you pulled up you will then need to move off again. This will give the examiner an opportunity to see if you assessed the traffic behind you correctly and that you remember to look over your right shoulder before moving off.
