Stafford Driving Test Centre is based at Unit 7, Greyfriars Business Park, Frank Foley Way, ST16 2RF. A typical 40‑minute route squeezes in the 60 → 40 → 30 camera cascade on the A34 Queensway, multi‑lane filtering at Doxey Road gyratory, and 20 mph grids through Castle Town and Foregate. The site offers candidate parking and male / female toilets. DVSA data lists a 2024 car pass‑rate of ≈ 44 %—a tick below the 48.9 % GB mean. Appointment waits hover around 10 – 12 weeks unless DriveBot grabs a cancellation.

From M6 J14 follow A34 Stone Road south, keep left at Greyfriars roundabout and turn into Frank Foley Way; Greyfriars Business Park is the first left and Unit 7 sits opposite Screwfix. Arrive no more than ten minutes early—bays double as estate parking.
NCN Route 5 joins the Stafford Greenway; leave at Castlefields footbridge, ride shared paths to Frank Foley Way and lock up at the reception hoops.
Late‑fault: braking late and triggering the forward‑facing camera by the Civic Centre.
Fix: lift off at the 40 board, engine‑brake to 38 mph, repeat for the 30 terminal.
Late‑fault: drifting over faded spiral lines toward the M6 exit.
Fix: read lane arrows 100 m out, hold ~25 mph through the circle, mirror‑signal before leaving.
Late‑fault: not giving way when parked cars narrow Castle Town / Foregate to single file.
Fix: scan two gaps ahead, communicate with oncoming traffic, creep through on clutch control.
Late‑fault: hesitation merging after the parallel‑parking demo.
Fix: mirrors, indicate early, build to 20 mph swiftly and slot into the flow.
Industrial‑estate yard means steady HGV traffic. Examiners love bay‑parking in the marked bays; parallel jobs pop up on Tipping Street near the courts. First pull‑out is onto a 30 mph bend—polish second‑gear roll‑offs and sharp MSM checks.
Arrive 10 min early with your provisional. Routine: 20 m eyesight check → one show me, tell me question → a reversing manoeuvre (bay or parallel) → possibly an emergency stop → ~20 min of independent sat‑nav or sign‑led driving. Examiners watch lane discipline on Doxey gyratory and speed control on Queensway.
With a 44 % success rate you’re just shy of the UK average. Results upload instantly; the photocard usually arrives within two weeks. Keep sharpening motorway skills—M6 J13‑15 is perfect Pass Plus practice.
A fail isn’t final—DriveBot monitors Stafford, Stoke (Cobridge) and Cannock all day, booking the earliest retest so your skills stay fresh.
