By car

‍
Exit the M4 at J45, follow A4067 / A4217 toward Swansea Enterprise Park, then turn onto Upper Fforest Way and right into Oxwich Court. The DVSA sign is opposite Plane Weighs Ltd.
Arrive no earlier than 10 minutes—spaces double as business parking.

By public transport

• Bus 4 / 4A (First Cymru) – Runs every 15 min from Swansea Bus Station to Upper Fforest Way stop, 3 minutes from the test centre.
• Rail – Swansea station is 3 miles south; Bus 4/4A completes the trip in about 12 minutes.

Cycling / walking

‍
National Cycle Network Route 43 (Celtic Trail) skirts Fendrod Lake. Exit at Valley Way and ride ½ mile along Upper Fforest Way. Lock up at the on‑site hoops.

‍

1. A48 Clase Road 40 → 30 drop

Typical slip-up – Mobile average‑speed cameras outside Llansamlet retail park catch late braking.
Fix – Spot the first yellow pole and feather the throttle early.

2. A4217 dual‑carriageway merge

Typical slip-up – Learners misjudge 50 mph traffic when leaving Upper Fforest Way.
Fix – Build speed on the slip, mirror–signal–manoeuvre, commit cleanly.

3. Samlet Road mini‑roundabouts

Typical slip-up – Back‑to‑back circles near Trallwn Primary cause lane‑drift faults.
Fix – Choose lanes early, maintain 18–20 mph, mirror on exit.

1. About Swansea Test Centre

A quiet cul‑de‑sac start helps calm nerves. Examiners favour bay-parking in the rear yard; parallel jobs often crop up on Samlet Road.

2. What to Expect on the Day

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

• Read a number plate at 20 m
• Answer one show me, tell me question
• Perform one reversing manoeuvre (bay or parallel)
• Possibly complete an emergency stop
• Drive ~20 minutes on independent sat-nav or sign-led directions

Examiners assess mirror–signal–manoeuvre closely—especially at A4217 and A48 merges.

3. After You Pass

With a 50%+ success rate, celebrate—but keep practising the M4 link for real-world speed.
Your full photocard usually lands within two weeks.
Compare telematics insurance early and consider Pass Plus for motorway confidence.

4. What If You Don’t Pass?

Not passing can sting, but DriveBot scans Swansea, Llanelli, and Cardiff to lock in the earliest retest—so you stay sharp and confident.
