Worcester Driving Test Centre on Stanier Road, Warndon Business Park, squeezes a lot into its 40‑minute routes: the sprawling Warndon Island roundabout, a burst on the A449/A4440 ring road and narrow housing‑estate lanes off Tolladine Road. Candidate parking, wheelchair access and toilets are on‑site, but demand is high—waits of 10–12 weeks are common unless you pounce on a cancellation.

Exit the M5 at J6, take the A449 toward Worcester, then join the A4440 at Warndon Island and follow signs for Warndon Business Park. Turn into Brindley Road and then Stanier Road; the test‑centre car park sits on the right. Arrive no more than ten minutes early.
• Train – Worcester Shrub Hill is 1.5 miles away (25 minutes on foot or eight by taxi).
• Bus – First Worcester routes 35 and 37 serve Brindley Road; Diamond 30 stops on Tolladine Road, both within five minutes’ walk.
National Cycle Network Route 45 – follows canal towpaths between the city centre and Warndon, with bike stands at the nearby Tesco Extra. Bring lights in winter.
Typical slip‑up – selecting the wrong exit and drifting lanes.
Quick fix – read signs early, choose the correct A449/A4440 lane and hold a steady speed.
Typical slip‑up – creeping over the limit just before the 30 mph zone.
Quick fix – glance at every sign, cover the brake and settle the speed with engine‑braking.
Typical slip‑up – meeting oncoming traffic where parked cars create single‑file sections.
Quick fix – spot gaps early, give way decisively and maintain smooth clutch control.
Situated on a quiet industrial cul‑de‑sac, the centre lets you pull away calmly before hitting busier roads. The spacious on‑site bays make bay parking the examiner’s go‑to manoeuvre. The first turn is a left onto Brindley Road—get comfortable with immediate mirror checks and gear changes. Local instructors suggest a warm‑up loop around Woodgreen Drive to settle nerves and clutch control.
Arrive ten minutes early with your provisional licence. You’ll read a number plate, answer a “show me, tell me” question, complete one reversing exercise, possibly perform an emergency stop and finish with twenty minutes of independent sat‑nav or sign‑led driving. Examiners monitor mirror‑signal‑manoeuvre keenly, especially on slip‑roads to the A4440.
The examiner can upload your result; your full photocard usually lands within two weeks. Consider Pass Plus or motorway lessons for confidence on the M5 and M50, and shop for insurance early—telematics policies often slash first‑year costs. For national context, see DVSA driving‑test statistics.
