Macclesfield Driving test Centre

Old, soulless and far too strict examiners.Had two tests here. The first one, coming up to a roundabout, the examiner said I suggest you switch to the middle lane". I checked all my mirrors

Had my MOD2 Motorcycle test today with Paul the examiner. Couldn’t ask for a nicer guy. Professional at all times, just brilliant. I can’t recommend this test centre enough.

Absolute shambles, I recently undertook my MOD2 motorcycle test with examiner Paul, he followed in a car which is firstly beyond me and secondly had to wait for him on numerous occasions due to the fact he was following in a car, after approximately 30 mins we headed back to the test centre to learn that I had failed, due to being in a wrong lane although I wasn’t, at the time he was three cars behind me stuck in traffic. It was impossible for him to witness the so called mistake.. I was so disappointed with his decision, I reached out to local business to check the CCTV which clearly shows he was wrong. Unfortunately appealing this is more effort and time than it’s worth. I also learned after the test the examiner doesn’t have a dash cam which i also find bizarre, lesson learnt, please avoid this test centre.!! I have recently booked this test with another centre.

Had my driving test on the 18th of April at 8:20am in Bollington, since the Macclesfield Driving Test Centre is currently closed.The examiner was professional and fair; he was wearing a body camera and had a navigation system.I was visibly stressed about the test and the examiner told me to take my time. Unfortunately the outcome wasn’t what I wanted (I did not pass the exam), but we had a quick debrief at the end of it and I was given valuable feedback.

Today I sat my third test here and luckily passed! I had Dave examining me and I must say he was so professional and friendly, he made me feel relaxed and he made conversation when safe to do so. He was really supportive and understanding that driving tests do make people nervous! I’m over the moon with my experience today and he is a brilliant examiner and a nice gentleman too!

My experience was different from some reviews here. I had a very pleasant test here, examiner was friendly, gave clear instructions and gave a valid feedback.

DO NOT GO FOR YOUR DRIVING TEST AT MACCLESFIELD. i’ve been twice now to here for my driving test and i’ve had NICKY twice and she has failed me both times, today i went and she failed me for “cutting a corner” which i didn’t even do, i know i should have passed, my instructor sat in the back and saw the whole drive and said she shouldn’t have failed me, ive really been done dirty, she definitely gets sent out to fail people, im done now with macclesfield. joke

Ok so the the centre itself is clean and the test felt fine for me but the examiner is another story. I failed and the reason is beyond stupid, to the point that I was left in the parking lot short circuiting for a good 10 minutes before leaving to check the area I failed at.I was told I failed with 1 serious fault within the first 5 minutes of the test on the left turn from green street to buxton road. According to the examiner there is no possible way for me to see the road at my position due to the parked cars on the right. Well... what I think the examiner failed to take into account is the fact that cars have windows that are see through which did allow me to see the road and know that it was clear.Nevertheless let's give him the benefit of the doubt and say that I couldn't see the road behind said parked cars. This whole road is on an upward slope and so is the road that I'm emerging from, if you view this road on google maps you can clearly see this too.On the approach I had full visibility of the entry points onto this road (that being everything behind said parked cars). Now even if I couldn't see the road I can wait a few seconds (which I did) to see if any cars would emerge from this blind spot"

DO NOT TAKE YOUR TEST HERE.Today I had my test and shock horror NICKY walks through the door, just my luck. I have been warned about her several times and was dreading the possibility of having her. Of course it was my lucky day and I had Nicky to do my test. She failed me for apparently not looking in my blind spot even though I did several times and said I wasn’t making enough observations. Many people have had similar problems, she was very unprofessional and I would not recommend going here until she is fired. Thank you.
