Your practical test will be at your nearest DVSA centre in Tyne and Wear, such as Gosforth, Gateshead or Sunderland.

What’s It Like To Drive Around Tyne and Wear?
Driving across Tyne and Wear means plenty of urban traffic through Newcastle, Gateshead and Sunderland, busy junctions and bridges over the Tyne, and quieter residential roads in the surrounding towns. You’ll handle multi-lane roundabouts, dual carriageways such as the A1 and A19, and slower coastal routes near Tynemouth and Whitley Bay. On an LPOD intensive course we focus your practice on the roads and manoeuvres you’re most likely to meet on test day across Tyne and Wear.
