Ludlow’s DVSA base is Unit 3, Ludlow Business Park, Parys Road, SY8 1XY. A 40‑minute route blends the 60 → 40 → 30 camera drop on the A49 Bypass, two‑lane spirals at Foldgate Lane roundabout, and 20 mph grids through Sandpits and Rocks Green. The site has male and female toilets but no candidate parking—use the lay‑by opposite. DVSA spreadsheets show a ≈ 50 % pass rate, comfortably above the GB mean, yet waits reach 12 weeks unless DriveBot grabs a cancellation.

1 About Ludlow from a Learner’s View
Examiners love bay‑parking in the lay‑by; parallel jobs pop up on Lower Galdeford beside the market car park. First pull‑out is onto a 30 mph bend—practise crisp second‑gear roll‑offs and MSM checks.
2 What to Expect on the Day
Arrive with your provisional ten minutes early. Routine: 20 m eyesight read → one show‑me / tell‑me question → one reversing manoeuvre (bay or parallel) → maybe an emergency stop → about twenty minutes of independent driving (sat‑nav or signs). Examiners watch mirror use at Foldgate Lane and speed on the A49 drop.
3 After You Pass
With a 50 % pass rate you’re ahead of the curve. Results upload instantly; your photocard licence arrives in roughly two weeks. Build dual‑carriageway confidence on the A49 toward Shrewsbury and practise rural bends on the A4117 to Cleehill.
