Rotherham’s practical‑test base operates from Unit 3, Malta Trading Estate, Mangham Way, S61 4RL. A 40‑minute route blends the 60 → 40 → 30 camera cascade on the A630 Parkway, lane‑discipline checks at the Tinsley Viaduct / M1 J34 gyratory and 20 mph grids through Greasbrough and Parkgate. Parking and male / female toilets share the yard. DVSA tables list a ≈ 47 % pass rate—bang on the GB mean. Tests book 10–12 weeks ahead unless DriveBot secures you a cancellation.

From M1 J34 (Meadowhall) join the A630 Sheffield Parkway eastbound, exit Templeborough / Magna, follow A633 Rotherham Road, then left into Mangham Road and right onto Mangham Way; DVSA signage appears opposite the recycling plant. Arrive ≤ 10 min early—bays double as estate parking.
NCN Route 6 tracks the River Don; leave at Taylors Lane bridge, ride estate lanes to Mangham Way and lock up at reception hoops (Sustrans Route 6).
Late‑fault: braking late past the 40 mph gantry then triggering the 30 mph camera at the petrol station.
Fix: lift off at the 50 sign by Magna, engine‑brake to 40 mph, repeat for 30 mph entering Canklow.
Late‑fault: drifting across faded lane lines toward Meadowhall slip.
Fix: read overhead boards 100 m out, hold 25 mph through the circle, mirror‑signal before exit.
Late‑fault: failing to yield to outbound artics on the narrow bend.
Fix: scan two truck‑lengths ahead, wait at the wider passing place, re‑join when clear.
Late‑fault: hesitation when the road narrows to single file.
Fix: decide early who has priority, indicate intent clearly, creep through smoothly.
Late‑fault: shallow angle and missed 360° glance.
Fix: align rear door handle to bay line, pause, full all‑round check, reverse slowly on clutch.
Shared industrial yard sees regular LGV manoeuvres. Examiners favour bay‑parking on‑site; parallel jobs often use Greasbrough Road beside the cricket club. First pull‑out is uphill into a 30 mph stream—practise brisk second‑gear roll‑offs and concise MSM checks.
Arrive 10 min early with your provisional. You’ll complete: eyesight 20 m → one show me, tell me → reversing manoeuvre (bay or parallel) → maybe emergency stop → ~20 min independent sat‑nav / sign‑led drive. Examiners watch lane discipline on Parkway slips and speed on the A633.
With a 47 % pass rate you’re level with UK averages. Results upload instantly; photocard arrives within two weeks. Keep honing high‑speed skills on the M1 and A1(M) corridors.
A fail isn’t final—DriveBot scans Rotherham (Malta), Handsworth and Barnsley to lock the earliest retest.
