1. By car

Leave the M6 (J1), take A426 Leicester Road toward town, then left at Tesco onto A4071 Lawford Road. Turn left into Addison Road and then right into Vernons Lane. The DVSA signage is beside the terraced houses. Arrive no more than 10 minutes early—parking is curb‑side only.

2. By public transport

• Bus – Stagecoach Midlands Route 10 stops “adj Vernons Lane” every 15 minutes.
• Bus – Route 5B circles Stockingford and stops opposite the test centre.
• Train – Nuneaton station is 1.1 miles east; Bus 10 covers the final leg in about 8 minutes.

3. Cycling / walking

National Cycle Network Route 41 reaches Nuneaton via the Coventry Canal. Exit at Marston Junction and follow quiet lanes to Vernons Lane. Sheffield stands sit outside the community centre—bring a sturdy lock.

1. A426 50 → 30 cameras (Cawston Lane)

Typical slip-up – Many brake too late; average-speed cameras log the overspeed.
Quick fix – Feather off before the first yellow pole and settle at 30 mph by the sign.

2. Rugby Road gyratory lanes

Typical slip-up – Spiral arrows confuse; learners change lanes late.
Quick fix – Choose your lane early, stay under 25 mph and commit smoothly.

3. Vernons Lane parked-van squeeze

Typical slip-up – The road narrows to single file; some learners forget to give way.
Quick fix – Look two vans ahead, yield decisively, and pass smoothly when clear.

1. About Nuneaton Test Centre

The quiet curb-side start helps settle nerves before joining A-roads. Examiners favour bay parking in the compact rear yard, while parallel parking jobs frequently happen on Oliver Street.

2. What to Expect on the Day

Arrive 10 minutes early with your provisional licence. You’ll:

• Read a number plate from 20 metres
• Answer one “show me, tell me” question
• Perform one reversing manoeuvre (bay or parallel)
• Possibly complete an emergency stop
• Drive independently for 20 minutes via sat-nav or signs

Examiners monitor mirror–signal–manoeuvre discipline closely, especially at every A426 merge.
