Chelmsford Driving Test Centre Practice Routes
In order to allow examiners to provide a test more representative of real driving conditions, the DVSA no longer publishes the current driving test routes. The below routes were the most recent to be published for the Chelmsford driving test centre. If the test centre has relocated since the last routes were published, then these routes will be applicable to the old location.
Please note that these routes are indicative only and examiners may alter their exact routes at their discretion, for example depending on traffic conditions.
