Two Crawley test routes that come back through Horsham

Crawley: Horsham's local driving test centre

DVLA licences and DVSA practical tests
It helps to understand the difference between the two government bodies. The DVLA (Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency) issues your provisional driving licence and handles road tax and driver records.
The DVSA (Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency) runs both your theory test and your practical driving test, sets the national driving syllabus, and employs the driving examiners based at Crawley test centre.
Because Horsham learners take their DVSA driving test on Crawley test routes, pairing local instructor guidance with regular route study gives you the best foundation to pass.
Why Horsham parents and pupils should practise the Crawley test routes
Because Horsham learners travel to Crawley for their practical driving test, joint preparation between instructors, pupils, and parents makes a measurable difference.

Why practising test routes matters
Becoming familiar with the roads and test routes around Crawley test centre helps Horsham learners build the calm confidence needed to pass their practical driving test.
Plan early for junctions and speed limits
When you know the Crawley and Horsham road network in advance, you can choose the correct lane early and adjust your speed smoothly before complex junctions.
Less stress and fewer test-day nerves
Familiar surroundings around the Crawley test centre reduce uncertainty on test day, helping you feel composed, confident, and ready from the moment you leave Pease Pottage.
More attention for actual driving
Knowing the local area means less mental effort spent reading every directional sign, freeing your attention to monitor hazards and check mirrors thoroughly on Crawley test routes.
Smoother independent driving
Following sat nav directions or traffic signs during the independent driving section feels far more natural when the Crawley test centre approach roads already make sense.
Spot tricky spots in advance
Practising locally helps you recognise busy multi-lane roundabouts, tight residential streets, school zones, and pedestrian crossings across Crawley and Horsham ahead of time.
Practise the whole area, not just one route
DVSA examiners can use any test route or take diversions on the day. Practising the wider town gives you genuine driving ability rather than memorised turns.

Parents can really help their child pass first time. If parents are happy to spend time in the car practising, once the child is test ready, this is what you can do: install these routes on your sat nav, download the free app, and just get your child driving the test routes until they know them like the back of their hand and know every junction — particularly the spiral roundabouts in Crawley, which are very difficult to navigate.
How to use the routes
They can be installed on a Garmin sat nav, on a TomTom sat nav, or run in a free GPS app on a phone.
