Driving test in Helston?

Question

anyone taken their driving test in helston? is it easy or hard with the roads in that area?

Answer 1

From what I have read it is somewhat difficult, just be prepared.

Answer 2

Presumably you are using the Penzance test centre?

Their pass rate is 47%, which is high for a test centre so good luck - you have it much easier than alot of other people around the UK!

Answer 3

As said already Its almost impossible to say what route, factors wil be involved on the day you take your test but my only advice would be if you do make a mistake dont dwell on it- I mounted the kerb slightly (Que women drivers jokes)!!!! on my reverse around a corner near the beginning of the test, and thought ah well thats it failed now and just got on with it and still passed. I asked the examiner how on earth I passed because I'd made this mistake and they said its how you correct your mistake and how you cope afterwards that they are judging you on. Just try and relax a little. Your  instructor would'nt allow you to put in for your test if they didnt feel you were ready. GOOD LUCK!!!!!

helston.... cornwall, is it?

how easy or hard your test will be will depend on how prepared you are. also, there are many different test routes, driving conditions, times of day when traffic is at a minimum or ar its peak.... it really is an impossible question to answer! sorry!

Answer 5

Helston eh? I have fond memories of the place from my days at RNAS Culdrose. I did a few driving lessons around the area and found it to be reasonably difficult. Up and down Coinagehall Street was a killer tho. Mind you, there is more traffic about now than in my day. Good Luck.
