1. About Hastings (Ore) Test Centre from a Learner’s View

Set on Ivyhouse Lane, TN35 4PP, the centre boasts a roomy bay‑lined yard, but Screwfix delivery lorries squeeze the entrance so clutch control counts.

2. What to Expect on the Day

Expect bay parking up front. Independent driving usually follows the Ridge then the A259 coast road—beware the 40‑to‑30 camera at Conquest Hospital. Steep Frederick Road provides textbook hill‑starts, while Beauport Road is the examiner's go‑to for the emergency stop.
