DVSA Driving Test Centre - Gloucester

Two MOD 2 Bike tests failed, Assessor was following dangerously close (within arms reach multiple times each time) was rude, only smiled when he told me I failed and acts like he doesn't want anyone to pass. He purposefully takes routes that are badly marked/worn out or hidden markings that other assessors do not take.You don't need to learn to ride a bike with him, you need to learn the gloucester roads better than your own living room to pass. I urge anyone taking their MOD 2, go elsewhere

Completely unjustified fail on emergency stop mod 1! Too heavy on the back brakes" yet I didn't skid and I came to a stop in a timely manner. Unreal. 100% book your test elsewhere even if it means travelling further afield"

Took a mod 1 a while back and the instructor was incredibly rude, stuck up and condescending. He also refused to re-give instructions to me that I had forgotten / not heard correctly which made me very nervous. He also kept saying 'do what your instructor told you to do' knowing full well I did not do a training course. - would not recommend, especially if you have problems with anxiety.reason for edit: taking mod 1 again in Bristol this time so I decided to properly finish my review

Mixed reviews here but I guess people are more likely to post a review when they are unhappy with thier result?My experience of the Mod 2 motorcycle test at Gloucester was very positive and the friendly examiner made me feel at ease in the poor conditons we had on the day.The gloucester roads can be a little confusing if you aren't from the area and I ended up in the wrong lane at one point which took us off route but was told it was fine. It isn't a navigation test after all; your exaimer just needs you to demonstrate that you can ride confidently and safely. If you make a mistake just accept it and don't do anything silly to trying to get back onto the route, continue to follow the road and exaimier's instructions.Good luck with your test

Honest review:I passed my module 2 here today which I am happy about, however I think I should reflect the experience of taking it at Gloucester. When we arrived I saw the examiner dealing with another student and he looked very unhappy - I told my instructor and he said not to over think things he is absolutely fine.With that, we parked our motorcycles up and the examiner returned only to find us in the spaces he was going to use (we had never been there before) My instructor said I apologise would you like me to move my bike he said it's a bit late now!" and walked off in frustration.My test had not even begun yet I already felt uncomfortable

Test centre itself is clean and tidy with no issues on that front. I did my motorcycle Mod 1 test here with no problem. However, my Mod 2 test experience was ridiculous.The examiner I had was rude and curt, not putting me at ease at all in an obviously stressful environment. It actually made me more anxious, as I could hear him groan in annoyance if I made a slight mistake.The speakers crackled on my test while the examiner was giving instructions and I couldn't hear what the they were saying. I had no way of communicating this to them, as I am not given a microphone and they could not see me at the time. I could however make out left" and "roundabout"

Cat B - I found the test centre really good, the pass rate didn't put me off as if you're good enough to pass on the day then you'll pass, if not, you won't!They give constructive feedback & advice if necessary.There is a delay on tests like everywhere but you can get one within a few weeks if you just get one booked & keep logging in an looking for earlier cancellations.

Passed at this test centre first time. Really great experience here and would definitely recommend it! Had Jeff for my driving test, He was really kind and helped me feel calm. Thanks Gloucester driving centre!!

Failed mod 2 twice here the pass rate is shocking. unprofessional examiner comes across as rude and condescending and happy to fail you. Dangerous riding from the instructor as he told me to move into the right lane then came flying up the side of me preventing me from doing so. Will not be going here again.

Absolutely great, nice and friendly people. My son just flew through the exam, no rush, no stress! Thank you very much
