Driving Test Kingstanding

I rarely visit Kingstanding (Birmingham) Test Centre, so it was interesting to see the route the candidate was assessed on.

I hate the big roundabout on kingstanding 😭😭 to many cars

[@InclusiveDriving]

And somebody thought putting a bus stop on the roundabout was a clever idea too!

[@RK-zj3hn]

@@InclusiveDriving Omg that is so true and it’s bare stupid

[@tahaburhani]

Hi. Is there any video on how to deal with that big roundabout please?

[@waynegreer6137]

So did they pass?

[@codentools]

Unfortunately, this was not a pass

[@merydukuray]

@@codentools what was the major?

[@codentools]

@@merydukuray i dont know that im thinking about half way in but i know examiner had to grab the steering.

[@ilish2642]

nope not a pass, apparently they didn’t see the give way marking at one point and went thru, instead of slowing down to check over their shoulder

[@InclusiveDriving]

Unfortunately, this was not a pass.
At approx 21:50, the candidate did not spot the Give Way line, and went ahead without checking it was clear to the right.
At this point, the candidate realised, and did a shoulder check (too late) which made him lose his steering control 😔

[@charlyxcx1575]

Ive watched this video 5 times i couldn't see any give way lines 👀👀

[@InclusiveDriving]

21:50

[@cg3511]

so I dont have to stop at a give way line? I just have to check that no one is there?

[@InclusiveDriving]

@@cg3511 correct. You need to slow to a speed where you could stop if you needed to but if it is clear, you don't need to stop.
If the junction has a stop sign instead of a Give Way sign then you must stop.

How long does the test last

[@InclusiveDriving]

It's between 30 and 40 minutes, depending on traffic.
