  • Your theory pass certificate if you have it.
  • A suitable car, usually your instructor's car.

Check the complete GOV.UK list

What happens

Read how the test works

Using your own car

The car must meet DVSA safety, visibility, tax, MOT, insurance and equipment rules. A test can be cancelled without a refund if the car is unsuitable.

Check every vehicle requirement

Official links checked 14 August 2026. GOV.UK should be followed if this summary and current official guidance ever differ.

Roads near the test centre

What the roads are like around Trowbridge

This section shows main roads, roundabouts and traffic lights mapped within 2.2 miles of the test centre. You can use it to get familiar with the area before your test.

These are not DVSA test routes. We do not know which roads an examiner will use.

Skills to practise for these road environments

These suggestions are derived from mapped nearby features, not from examiner-route information.

Faster-road planning

Build confidence reading signs early, selecting a lane, joining safely and leaving a longer following distance as speeds rise.

Why this is included: Mapped nearby examples include Yarnbrook Road (A350), West Ashton Road (A350).

Roundabout observations

Practise reducing speed in time, reading lane markings, checking mirrors and making a fresh safety decision at each approach.

Why this is included: OpenStreetMap labels nearby roundabouts including A361, West Ashton Road, Bythesea Road, and maps 40 mini-roundabout points.

Signal-controlled junctions

Practise scanning for lane arrows and stop lines, planning for changing lights, and checking that a junction is clear before proceeding.

Why this is included: OpenStreetMap contains 59 traffic-signal map points within the mapped radius.

Lower-speed road awareness

Practise meeting traffic safely, allowing for parked vehicles, and looking early for pedestrians, cyclists and side-road hazards.

Why this is included: Mapped lower-speed or local-road examples include Longfield Road (A361), A361, Bradley Road (A361).

Changing speed environments

Practise spotting speed-limit changes promptly and choosing an appropriate speed for the road and conditions rather than driving at the limit automatically.

Why this is included: The selected nearby roads carry mapped limits ranging from 30 mph to 60 mph.
