About this test centre

Brighton & Hove's test centre routes combine the seafront's roundabout-dense roads with steep residential streets rising up from the coast. Hill starts feature heavily, and examiners commonly route through at least one of the area's notoriously busy seafront roundabouts.

Tips for passing at this centre

  • ✓ Hill starts on a slope, not just flat-ground theory, need real practice — Brighton's residential streets are genuinely steep
  • ✓ Seafront roundabouts get busy with tourist traffic outside term time — factor this into when you book
  • ✓ Church Road's parked-car corridors require confident judgement on tight two-way passing
