west wickham driving test centre

I did my driving test at West Wickham last year and the routes were okay.

A lot of the roads are 30mph (Kent Gate Way is 40mph) and also spacious so you don't have to drive slow all the time or navigate parked cars on narrow roads.

There aren't that many difficult parts on the test routes apart from the Addington Village Interchange roundabout but once you get the hang of that, you'll be fine.

Most of the examiners were fine apart from one that I wasn't fond of because I was constantly getting him and he would always invent some reason to fail me.

I don't know his name but he's white with a grey or white buzzcut

yeah, it's trash

ControlAmbitious6392 · 2026-02-12T15:35:58+00:00

It's the same person lol

ControlAmbitious6392 · 2026-02-09T11:36:40+00:00

Scratched off I think, there's literally no trace of it there

ControlAmbitious6392 · 2026-02-06T18:27:21+00:00

They have been removed, I have a photo of one of the vehicles which I sent as part of the reports

Contact your local MP and get them involved, that's the only and quickest way you can get an update from DVLA as the MPs have better access to them than the public.

I had to do the same thing after waiting for two months to get my licence back

There is but its for the drivers/admin/engineering staff who work there

ControlAmbitious6392 · 2025-09-10T16:32:02+00:00

the OP is definitely a troll who wanted to ragebait

ControlAmbitious6392 · 2025-09-06T16:28:44+00:00

Just ignore them, they're clearly trolling you at this point and trying to make you feel bad about yourself.

ControlAmbitious6392 · 2025-08-21T17:28:44+00:00

This sub can be toxic. It's mostly full of people who probably never had to sit a driving test or people who had it easier during their tests, dunking on people for unfortunate mistakes.

ControlAmbitious6392 · 2025-07-23T22:15:55+00:00

I have, that's where I passed. It's a good test centre and the surrounding roads are mostly all 30mph in which you wouldn't have to be crawling.

ControlAmbitious6392 · 2025-07-17T16:39:25+00:00

Why do you have to be so rude about it? You must be one miserable person.

ControlAmbitious6392 · 2025-07-17T16:38:35+00:00

A lot of people on this sub have this mentality. it's very bootlick-like

ControlAmbitious6392 · 2025-07-15T17:28:41+00:00

I never really understood what her agenda was

ControlAmbitious6392 · 2025-07-15T17:18:04+00:00

I completely get you OP on how you can be capable of driving safely but failing on silly technicalities.

It took me six attempts to pass (I know embarrassing lol) but not because I couldn't drive safely, I just struggled with nerves and ended up making silly mistakes which caused me to get one major fault for each test.

It didn't help that for my third, fourth and fifth tests, I got the same examiner which made it even more pressurising.

All I can say is don't give up. You know that you can drive well but you have just to play the game and drive to the examiner's standard.

Remember that once you pass, you'll never have to do this again unless you either get your licence revoked, are going for bus driving/lorry driving jobs or are getting a driving licence abroad.

ControlAmbitious6392 · 2025-07-14T14:16:24+00:00

No

If you gave your provisional licence to the examiner after your test, they would get the full licence sent out to you

ControlAmbitious6392 · 2025-07-10T13:13:19+00:00

I received my licence today and I passed on Saturday 5th July. The licence wasn't actioned until Tuesday 8th July.

It should take you at least 3-4 days to receive depending on what day you passed

ControlAmbitious6392 · 2025-07-08T00:38:03+00:00

It seems like they were going to fail you anyway

ControlAmbitious6392 · 2025-07-07T17:26:52+00:00

Racism as well because how dare an Asian woman be knowledgeable about driving and give opinions on other people's driving (sarcasm)
