1. About Launceston Test Centre from a Learner’s View

Cornwall’s centre stands on Scarnew Road, PL15 9HS inside Scarne Industrial Estate. It has five marked bays; tractors from agri‑depots crawl past the gate, so mirror‑signal‑manoeuvre counts from second one. ADIs suggest a settling loop through the Homeleigh Garden Centre access road before you sign in.

2. What to Expect on the Day

Bay parking almost always opens the test. Independent driving usually joins the A388 Newport Road, then the A30 dual carriageway—practise 40‑to‑70 acceleration on a short slip. Examiners like Pennygillam Way straight for the emergency stop and watch mirror use on the Kensey Valley mini‑roundabouts.

3. After You Pass
