adambaz Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 Do they always take you on the parkway? Not always. 1 route out of 16 doesn't Read the test routes (or try some of them out if you want to familiarise yourself). If you've got a half decent driving instructor, you'll have already driven half of these routes already. Routes 1-5: http://www.dsa.gov.uk/Download.asp?path=%2FDocuments%2FTestRoutes%2FSheffield%5FParkway%5FCar%5FRoutes%5F1%2D5%2Epdf Routes 6-10: http://www.dsa.gov.uk/Download.asp?path=%2FDocuments%2FTestRoutes%2FSheffield%5FParkway%5FCar%5FRoutes%5F6%2D10%2Epdf Routes 11-15: http://www.dsa.gov.uk/Download.asp?path=%2FDocuments%2FTestRoutes%2FSheffield%5FParkway%5FCar%5FRoutes%5F11%2D15%2Epdf Route 16: http://www.dsa.gov.uk/Download.asp?path=%2FDocuments%2FTestRoutes%2FSheffield%5FParkway%5FCar%5FRoute%5F16%2Epdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oatez Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 I took my test at the parkway last Wednesday. Passed, with two minor errors, one of which I will be raising a concern with the DVLA in relation to, as I now see the test is both individualistic and subjective. My test route took me onto the Parkway, then to Crystal Peaks, then to Prince of Wales Road, down to Darnal, then along Attercliffe Road and back into the test centre.

Don't quite understand why you would want to take up one of the driving errors with the DVLA (you should try the DSA instead) since you will be the first person in history to query a pass! Subjective? Well the examiners' training and checks down by their superiors will allow the DSA to claim they are doing all they can to remove a lot of an examiner's subjectivity. By contrast, the ex's have been accused of being a little too rigid and robotic, marking only what they see. See what response you get! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SheffUK Posted July 19, 2009 Author Share Posted July 19, 2009 thanks for those links. My situation is I took my theroy test 2 years ago without taking any lessons at all and managed to pass it first time. But I was a broke student who lived close to uni so I never started with my actual lessons. Theory tests exprie after 2 years if you dont complete you practical test and as mine expires on August the 8th i've only had 12 driving lessons with 2 more in the next 2 weeks so 14 lessons in total before my actual test, and no, I haven't driven around the parkway test centre at all Is it going to take a miracle?
