DVSA Practical Test Centres

Practical test centres near Stevenage

The Stevenage test centre sits just north of the town centre and handles the bulk of local tests. Routes usually cover the new town's network of residential areas and dual carriageways, plus a few stretches of the A1(M) corridor that runs alongside. Your instructor will likely spend several lessons working through roundabouts and the town's quieter housing estates before moving onto faster roads.

Letchworth is around five miles north and runs a pass rate above the national average, so it's worth considering if Stevenage slots are tight. Luton is roughly nine miles west and sees lower pass rates, making it mainly a fallback when the closer centres are fully booked for weeks ahead.
