The Guildford DVSA Test Centre

All practical DVSA HGV tests for our students are conducted at the Guildford test centre at Slyfield Industrial Estate, Moorfield Road, Guildford GU1 1SA. This centre is well-known for its varied test routes, which include challenging elements designed to assess a driver's competence. Trainees should be prepared for the uphill start on Wych Hill Lane, where a stop sign at the top often requires a hill start, and another is typically required at the second telegraph post on the way down. The test routes also incorporate sections of the A3 dual carriageway, providing experience with higher-speed driving and lane discipline.
