1. By car

From the A629 Keighley bypass take the Steeton / Silsden exit, then follow Station Road to the T‑junction. Turn left onto Keighley Road; the fire station appears on the right. The small candidate car park fills quickly—arrive no more than ten minutes early.

2. By public transport

• Train – Steeton & Silsden station (Leeds‑Skipton line) is a ten‑minute walk via Station Road.
• Bus – Keighley Bus Company routes 62, 66 and 67 stop on Keighley Road outside Airedale Hospital, a five‑minute stroll from the test‑centre gate.

3. Cycling / walking

National Cycle Network Route 69 – the Airedale Greenway – runs beside the Leeds & Liverpool Canal and passes half a mile north of the centre. Secure stands sit at Steeton station; bring lights for dawn or dusk tests.

1. Steeton Top roundabout

• Typical slip‑up – drifting lanes when leaving for the A629 toward Skipton.
• Quick fix – read lane arrows early, mirror‑signal, hold position and exit smoothly.

2. Cross Hills 60 → 30 drops

• Typical slip‑up – speed creeps over the limit entering the built‑up stretch of the A629.
• Quick fix – cover the brake before the sign; use engine‑braking to settle at 30 mph.

3. Keighley Road river bridges

• Typical slip‑up – failing to give way where the road narrows to a single lane.
• Quick fix – scan ahead for oncoming traffic, pick a passing place and commit decisively.

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

Operating out of the local fire‑station site, the centre starts you on a quiet pull‑out before plunging into real traffic. Manoeuvres usually take place in the rear service yard – ideal for bay parking – or on the estate roads around Airedale Hospital. Because the first junction is a left into the 30 mph zone, get comfortable with immediate mirror checks and smooth second‑gear pick‑up. Instructors recommend a warm‑up loop around Silsden bridge to bed in clutch control.

2. What to Expect on the Day

Arrive ten minutes early with your provisional licence. You’ll read a 20‑metre number plate, answer a “show me, tell me” safety question, perform one reversing manoeuvre (bay or parallel), may do an emergency stop and complete twenty minutes of independent driving via sat‑nav or traffic signs. Examiners keep a sharp eye on mirror‑signal‑manoeuvre habits when you merge onto the fast A629.

3. After You Pass

The examiner can upload your result online; your full photocard usually arrives in about two weeks. Book Pass Plus or motorway lessons for confidence on the M65 and M62 links, and compare insurance quotes early—telematics policies often trim first‑year costs. For national context, consult DVSA driving‑test statistics.
