Test tip of the month for Darwen

You can fail your test for driving too slow or too fast. Don't make sudden changes if you sense the examiner is looking over at your speedo. Just gently come off the gas or gently apply more depending on if you are going too slow or fast.

Useful driving test tip for Darwen Show more

Useful driving test tip for Darwen

On your test you may have overtaking opportunities. If it's safe to do so, the examiner will expect you to overtake. Only overtake if you think you can go past the vehicle in front swiftly without braking the speed limit. Can you get back into the left hand lane before the road ends or the next junction. If they examiner tells you to turn left at the next roundabout, that might be a hint to stay where you are and not do the overtake.

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens on my driving lessons in Darwen?

Learning to drive in Darwen will prepare you for almost every driving scenario you'll face once you're a qualified driver - from bus lanes, T-junctions, to small and large multilane roundabouts. Your driving journey will begin in the less busy areas of Darwen, mainly the residential areas, before getting you onto the A666 heading North to where the driving test centre is.

Here at driveJohnson's, we strongly believe in practising the test route areas, including the large M65 Junction 4 multi-lane roundabout and covering some roads in and around Blackburn. This way you can be fully prepared for any road that will pop up on your driving test.
