1. By car

Leave the M23 at Junction 11, take the Brighton Road exit signed Pease Pottage, then follow Business Park signs to The Pavilions. Parking spaces are limited—arrive no earlier than ten minutes to avoid blocking other candidates.

2. By public transport

• Train – Crawley station on the West Coastway Line is a ten‑minute taxi ride or 25‑minute stroll via Southgate Avenue.
• Bus – Stagecoach Coastliner 700 and Metrobus 10 stop on Brighton Road at Pease Pottage Services every 10–12 minutes; walk five minutes through the Business Park to the test‑centre door.

3. Cycling / walking

National Cycle Network Route 20 links Crawley with Worthing and meets Brighton Road beside Tilgate Forest Business Park. Secure racks sit at nearby Pavilion units—bring a lock and lights for winter slots.

1. Tushmore Gyratory (A23 / A2011)

Typical slip‑up: spiral‑lane exits catch late lane‑changers.
Quick fix: read the lane‑direction boards 150 m out, stay below 25 mph and commit smoothly.

2. Brighton Road 50 → 30 drops at South Gate

Typical slip‑up: speed cameras pick up last‑second braking.
Quick fix: ease off at the 40 sign and let engine‑braking settle to 30 mph.

3. Tilgate Drive mini‑roundabouts

Typical slip‑up: steep cambers cause roll‑backs.
Quick fix: approach in second gear, cover the clutch and keep revs steady.

1. About Crawley Test Centre from a Learner’s View

Examiners collect candidates promptly from a small but calm waiting room. Manoeuvres often take place in the on‑site bays—bay parking is common—but parallel parking on nearby Old Brighton Road appears frequently. First pull‑out is onto a 30 mph industrial road, so polish mirror checks and smooth second‑gear pick‑ups.

2. What to Expect on the Day

Arrive ten minutes early with your provisional licence. You’ll:

• Read a 20 m number‑plate
• Answer one “show me, tell me” safety question
• Perform a reversing exercise
• Possibly do an emergency stop
• Complete 20 minutes of independent driving via sat‑nav or signs

Examiners watch mirror–signal–manoeuvre habits closely when joining the fast A23 slip.

3. After You Pass

DVSA data puts Crawley’s latest pass rate around 41%, below the 45.9% national average. The examiner uploads results instantly; your full photocard usually arrives within two weeks. Book Pass Plus for confidence on the A27 and compare telematics insurance quotes early to cut first‑year costs.
