Practical Test Centres Near Havant

Havant learners typically book their practical at Portsmouth, around four miles north, which posts a pass rate close to the national average. Routes there cover a mix of suburban streets, busier dual carriageways and some tricky roundabouts, so instructors tend to spend a fair amount of lesson time on those junctions before test day.

Lee On The Solent is roughly five miles west and runs a noticeably higher pass rate, making it a popular choice for learners who want to avoid the heavier Portsmouth traffic. Southampton sits around fifteen miles north-west and serves as a third option when both Portsmouth and Lee On The Solent are fully booked, though most local learners stick with the two closer centres.
