Salford – Dual Carriageways

There are several dual carriageways such as the A5063 and the A6 within easy reach of Salford driving test centre. It is vital that you get plenty of practice and have a good understanding of dual carriageways along with multilane roundabouts which lead to them. When joining one of these busy dual carriageways, sure that you adjust your speed to match the speed of the traffic already on the carriageway. You must not force the traffic on the main road to either slow down, swerve or stop. Once you’re on the carriageway, the driving examiner will expect you to make progress if road conditions allow it.

Salford – Residential Roads

Eventually, the examiner will take you out of the busy area into the quiet residential roads of Salford. There is also a possibility of going towards Eccles or Pendlebury. These quieter residential areas will be used for the purpose of carrying out one of the four reverse manoeuvers. The emergency stop, although not compulsory, may also be requested.

Salford – Independent Drive

During the 40 minutes’ drive from Salford driving test centre, the examiner will set aside 20 minutes for the independent driving section of the test. During this section, 80% of learner drivers will be asked to follow directions given by a satnav. The remaining 20% will be asked to follow directions given the road signs and road markings.
