Stafford – Documents Checks

The driving test from Stratford practical test centre will start off with the examiner requested to see your photo card provisional driving licence. You will then be asked to sign a declaration to confirm that you have lived in the UK for the past six months. The declaration will also confirm that you bought a car to the driving test that is insured for you to drive. The driving examiner will then ask if you would like anyone to accompany you in the test. This decision is solely yours but you may wish to speak to your driving instructor beforehand.

Stafford – Eyesight Checks

The driving examiner will then conduct a very simple eyesight test which will involve you reading a number plate at a distance of 20 m. You will then be asked one vehicle safety question prior to the actual drive itself.

Stafford – Challenging Roads

As soon as you leave the driving test centre car park, you will find yourself on busy challenging roads such as the A34. Driving the city of Stratford will involve major road systems such as mini and large roundabouts, open and closed junctions and also some crossroads

Stafford – Residential Roads

A fair amount of driving will be done on quiet residential roads. These roads will give the driving examiner an opportunity to assess your reversing skills. The examiner will have a choice of four manoeuvers out of which you will be requested to carry one out. Regardless of which manoeuvre you are requested, innovation before and during the manoeuvre is vital. In fact, more learner drivers fail on the observations than they do on the reversing itself. Although the residential roads seem very easy, they can become challenging within seconds. Vehicles parked on both sides of the road, faded road markings and meeting vehicles all make the residential roads challenging.

Knowing each and every single driving test route for Stratford is not important. However, it is important that you are familiar with the few roads surrounding the driving test centre. Most learner drivers who fail their practical test do so within the first few minutes all the last few minutes.
