Test Tip Of The Month For Northampton

When leaving the driving test centre, you may be asked to turn right onto Gladstone road and then at the next roundabout, you may be asked to follow the road to the right sign posted to Kingsthorpe. You must keep off the white hatch markings and follow the left lane all the way around the roundabout following the ahead road markings to Kingsthorpe.

Should you get confused and follow the right road markings, you will go back to the driving test centre and that will be ok. You could stay in the right lane and go around again, keeping off the white hatch markings and exit the roundabout in the left ahead lane to Kingsthorpe.

Useful Driving Test Tip For Northampton

If the examiner asks you to pull up on the right at a safe place, take your time. Don't rush trying to get over to the right until you are 100% happy you have identified a safe place. Keep checking your interior mirror as well. Naturally, you may come off the gas a bit as you are looking for somewhere to pull up. If you are slowing down, vehicles might follow you closer or try to pass you.

When you go to move away again after pulling up on the right, you must be sure you can cross oncoming vehicles safely and not slow down for traffic. If you are on a 30mph road, try to allow a 100m gap from oncoming cars. This will give you enough time to build up speed without surprising or slowing anyone down.
