1. By car

From the M42 (J2) follow the A441 south toward Redditch, then join the Alvechurch Highway. Follow signs for the town centre, turn right onto Ipsley Street, left into Evesham Street and left again into Elm Road. The candidate car park is on the right; aim to arrive no more than ten minutes early.

2. By public transport

• Train – Redditch station (terminus of the Cross‑City Line) is a mile away: around twenty minutes on foot or five by taxi.
• Bus – Diamond routes 26 and 27 stop on Evesham Street; from there it’s a three‑minute stroll to Elm Road.

3. Cycling / walking

National Cycle Network Route 5 passes through the town centre. Secure stands sit outside the Kingfisher Centre—bring lights and high‑viz in winter.

1. Bordesley Bypass roundabout

Typical slip‑up – entering the wrong lane and drifting across markings.
Quick fix – read overhead signs early, hold your lane and exit smoothly.

2. Arrow Valley 40 → 30 drops

Typical slip‑up – speed creeps over the limit near the lake.
Quick fix – spot every sign, ease off before the change and use engine‑braking.

3. Tight streets off Elm Road

Typical slip‑up – failing to give way where parked cars narrow the road.
Quick fix – scan ahead, pick a passing place and signal intentions early.

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

The centre sits in a quiet cul‑de‑sac, so you’ll start with an easy pull‑out before meeting real traffic. The waiting room is small but relaxed; examiners collect you promptly, which limits nerves. Manoeuvres often happen in the roomy on‑site car park—ideal if you prefer bay parking to parallel. Because the first junction is a left onto a residential street, get comfortable with immediate mirror checks and smooth clutch control. Local instructors suggest warming up along Evesham Street to settle into the bite point before you sign in.

2. What to Expect on the Day

Arrive ten minutes early with your provisional licence. You’ll answer one “show me, tell me” vehicle‑safety question, perform a reversing exercise (bay or parallel), possibly complete an emergency stop and tackle twenty minutes of sat‑nav‑led driving. Routes blend town lights, rural bends and a dual‑carriageway stint on the A441—mirror‑signal‑manoeuvre habits are checked relentlessly.

3. After You Pass

The examiner can register your pass online; your full photocard usually arrives within two weeks. Book Pass Plus or motorway lessons to build confidence on the M42 and M5, and compare insurance quotes early—telematics policies often cut first‑year costs. For national pass‑rate comparisons, see the DVSA driving‑test statistics.
