Driving Lessons Gloucester- What's It Like To Drive In Gloucester?

In this post, we will try to give you the “flavour” of what it is like to drive and the conditions that you might experience taking a driving test in Gloucester. As you know, Gloucester is an expanding city, becoming busier every year. New “villages” are being constructed, for example Coopers Edge and Kingsway, so the roads are becoming ever busier, and so driving skills need to be kept at their highest levels to avoid costly accidents and damage.


Gloucester Driving Test Centre is situated in Quedgeley and was the first Multi Purpose Driving Test Centre in the country. It is purpose built and modern. There are numerous test routes incorporating every type of road except motorways. These include dual carriageways at national speed limit (70mph), Country lanes (60mph), rural roads, speeds between 30-60mph,and city driving (20-40mph), which can include very congested areas. The test centre deals with cars, motorcycles and lorries. The car test will only use the test centre at the beginning and end of the test, the remainder of the test is all on normal public roads. The lorries and motorcycle tests will use the very large fenced area for parts of their tests.


There is every type of road junction and roundabouts ranging from numerous mini-roundabouts,to very large spiral roundabouts. Of course you will not experience these on every route, and nobody can know which route you might go on, so you must be prepared!
