Erdington Driving Test Centre

About this test centre

Erdington has one of the toughest reputations in the Midlands, with test routes covering the heavily-trafficked Kingsbury Road, multiple large roundabouts feeding the A38(M) Aston Expressway, and dense residential side streets. The volume of traffic lights and roundabouts in close succession is what typically catches learners out.

Tips for passing at this centre

• ✓ Roundabout-to-roundabout sequencing is the defining challenge here — practise reading signs early, not at the roundabout itself
• ✓ Avoid testing during school run hours if you have any flexibility — the residential routes get significantly busier
• ✓ Erdington's pass rate is well below the national average, so don't be discouraged if you need more lessons than a friend elsewhere
