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

The DVSA site sits in Gladstone Business Centre at Gladstone Road NN5 7QA. Marked bays back onto trade units—fork‑lifts cross your path, so observation and clutch‑bite appear immediately. Local ADIs recommend a calming lap around Becket’s Park riverside car‑park before signing in.

2. What to Expect on the Day

Bay parking almost always kicks off the test. Independent driving commonly follows the A5095 ring, heads along the A45 Nene Valley dual then rejoins the A428—prepare for 30‑to‑70 jumps and lane drops at Barnes Meadow. Examiners favour Mill Lane straight for emergency stops and monitor mirror use on the six‑arm St James Retail Park roundabout.
