Getting ready for a test at Chester
There are 5 roundabouts within 2 km, fewer than at 8 in 10 test centres. Expect more give way lines. Some roads nearby have limits of 60 mph or more, so match the traffic when you join. 47.3% passed here in 2025-26, close to the GB average.
A car test lasts around 35 minutes, with a show me and a tell me question and a pull up on the left. The examiner picks the roads on the day, so practise the junctions, not one route.

Roundabouts on your driving test
Lanes, signals and observations for every exit, mini-roundabouts, and the roundabout mistakes examiners mark most often.
Junction observation on your driving test
Why poor observation at junctions is the most common reason people fail, and how to emerge safely without hesitating.
How many driving faults fail you?
The pass mark explained: up to 15 driving faults and no serious or dangerous faults, and why 15 is a limit, not a target.
