Driving Test Waiting Lists and Route Maps
Waiting times for driving tests vary, but are typically:
- cars — 3 to 7 weeks
- taxis — 2 to 4 weeks
Please see the DirectGov website for up-to-date waiting lists. The DirectGov website also has downloadable PDF route maps for the various test routes from the Pease Pottage driving test centre. Regrettably, it doesn’t give any phone numbers or email addresses, so if you have a query, you’ll have to turn up in person.
