1 By car
Leave the A49 at Battlefield Roundabout, follow Battlefield Link Road to Knights Way, turn right and look for the DVSA sign after roughly 150 m. Arrive no more than ten minutes early; bays double as examiner parking.

• Rail – Shrewsbury station lies 2.3 mi south; bus 511 covers the journey in about 12 min.

1. A49 Whitchurch Road 60 → 40 → 30 camera – braking late by Battlefield church triggers the camera. Fix: spot the 40 mph board at the fuel station, roll off and engine‑brake to about 28 mph.

2. Emstrey Roundabout three‑lane spiral – drifting toward the A458 exit on the spiral. Fix: read overhead boards 120 m out, hold 25 mph, mirror‑signal before leaving.

3. Battlefield Link Road dual → single merge – lane change without mirror checks. Fix: plan early, check mirrors twice, keep a two‑second gap.

4. Sundorne 20 mph cushions – accelerating to 24 mph between humps. Fix: stay in 2nd gear, hold 17‑19 mph with gentle throttle.

5. Test‑centre forecourt bay‑parking – shallow approach plus missed 360° glance. Fix: line rear door‑handle with the bay line, pause, all‑round check, reverse at crawl speed.

1. About Shrewsbury from a Learner’s View
Battlefield’s yard is busy with LGVs. Examiners favour bay‑parking on‑site; parallel manoeuvres often use Ennerdale Road. First pull‑out is onto a 30 mph bend—practise smooth second‑gear roll‑offs and decisive MSM checks.

2. What to Expect on the Day
Arrive ten minutes early with your provisional. You will:
• Read a plate at 20 m • Answer one show‑me / tell‑me question • Complete a reversing manoeuvre (bay or parallel) • Possibly perform an emergency stop • Drive ~20 min independently via sat‑nav or signs.
Examiners focus on Emstrey lane discipline and A49 speed control.
