Mock Tests to Help You Pass Your Lichfield Driving Test
Lichfield’s mix of narrow country lanes, busy dual carriageways and awkward roundabouts can easily catch learners off guard. To help you feel fully prepared, our instructors will take you through the trickiest areas that often feature on local test routes:
1. Exiting the A38 onto Cappers Lane
It’s common for learners to creep over the 30mph limit when coming off the dual carriageway here. We’ll help you practise safe speed control so you settle confidently into the lower limit naturally.
2. Muckley Corner to the A5 (signposted Tamworth/Wall)
This section requires you to use the slip road properly to slow down, then apply firm braking and select 2nd gear before a sharp left bend. Many learners get caught braking on the dual carriageway itself – a serious test hazard we’ll make sure you avoid.
3. Knowle Lane (narrow country road)
Blind bends and passing places make this a classic test challenge. We’ll teach you how to judge speed, when to hold back and how to negotiate oncoming traffic safely.
4. A51 Western Bypass by the Hedgehog
Here you’ll be asked to turn right at the lights, then immediately right again across the dual carriageway into Stafford Road. It’s a manoeuvre that demands quick judgement and confident positioning and we’ll practise it until it feels second nature.
5. A5 Watling Street (near the Trooper Pub)
One of the toughest junctions in Lichfield. Emerging left onto a busy dual carriageway from a standstill requires patience, sharp observations and the ability to build speed quickly. We’ll give you the skills to do this safely and confidently.
What our learners have to say…
I have been using Garry since early October and I would 100 percent recommend him to any he is very polite and very helpful. He is always on time and he played a massive part of me passing my test today.
I had a fantastic experience learning to drive with Gary! He is a patient, knowledgeable, and professional instructor who always made me feel comfortable and confident behind the wheel. His clear explanations and helpful tips made a huge difference, and he was always encouraging, even when I made mistakes. Thanks to Gary, I passed my test with confidence. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a great driving instructor!
