The Guildford DVSA Test Centre

Your DVSA practical test will be conducted at the Guildford test centre, located at Slyfield Industrial Estate, Moorfield Road, Guildford GU1 1SA. This centre is well-known for its varied test routes, which include urban driving and dual carriageway sections. A key feature of the Guildford test area is the Wych Hill Lane section, where candidates often encounter an uphill start requirement. Be prepared for the stop sign at the top of the hill and the need for a controlled hill start, typically at the second telegraph post on the way down. Familiarity with the A3 dual carriageway section is also crucial for success.
