Test Route Hints
On the A607 Norman Way, there is a 30 mph fixed speed camera so watch your speed! The Asfordby Hill and Leicester Road roundabouts can be confusing due to the layout of the lanes. Make sure to familiarise yourself with the area. You will at times drive through 20 mph zones, but also be prepared for 50 mph stretches on the local ring roads and bypasses.
In order to book a driving test you need:
- your UK driving licence number
- a credit or debit card for payment
- if you wish to check that your driving instructor is available, you will also need your instructor’s personal reference number

In order to take a practical test, you must have lived in England, Wales or Scotland for at least 185 days in the last 12 months before the day you take your test. If you live in Northern Ireland there is a different service through which you can book your test. If you want to look for an earlier test date after booking, you can check for appointments by going to the ‘change driving test‘ page on the Gov.UK website.
Test Day Info
On the day of your driving test, make sure that you have your photocard driving licence with you. If you have an old style paper licence, then you must also take a valid passport for photo ID. Without these you will not be able to take your test.
You can take the test in your own car if you wish. Just make sure that it is taxed, insured and everything is in good working order. You must also provide an extra rear-view mirror for the examiner to use. Make sure that your L plates are clean, and correctly positioned clearly in view – NOT in the windows!
Arrive at your test centre in good time, but not so early that you get in the way of other test candidates. About ten minutes before your test time is about right. Just park your car, and make your way to the waiting room with your licence and wait for the examiner to call your name.
