1. By car

Leave the A14 at J57, follow A1189 Nacton Road toward Ipswich, then take the first exit at Central Avenue roundabout into Ransomes Europark. Turn right at the third mini‑roundabout for Wentworth Road; the DVSA sign faces Screwfix. Arrive no more than 10 minutes early—bays double as staff parking.

2. By public transport

• Bus 66 (Ipswich Reds) every 10 minutes between Ipswich Station and Martlesham; alight at Central Avenue (5‑minute walk).
• Buses 75 / 77 link Felixstowe & Woodbridge to the park (Old Cattle Market stand).
• Rail – Ipswich main‑line station lies 3 miles west; bus 66 covers the leg in about 14 minutes.

3. Cycling / walking

NCN Route 51 meets Ransomes Way. Leave at the Sainsbury’s roundabout, follow shared lanes to Wentworth Road, and secure your bike at the centre hoops.

‍

1. A1156 Felixstowe Road 50 → 30 camera

A mobile van hides by the golf‑centre lay‑by—lift off well before the change.

2. Ransomes Interchange three‑lane spiral

Late lane changes toward A14 east cause faults—read arrow boards 150 m out, choose early, commit smoothly.

3. Ravenswood mini‑roundabout chain

Three circles in 300 m invite lane drift—keep 18 – 20 mph and mirror on every exit.

‍

1. About Ipswich Test Centre

Industrial‑estate start settles nerves. Examiners favour bay parking in‑yard and parallel parking on Crompton Road. First pull‑out is onto a 30 mph bend—rehearse smooth second‑gear roll‑offs.

2. What to Expect

Arrive 10 min early. You’ll:

• Complete a 20 m eyesight check
• Answer one show me, tell me question
• Perform one reversing manoeuvre (bay or parallel)
• Possibly carry out an emergency stop
• Drive ~20 min independently via sat‑nav or signs
  Examiners focus on mirror–signal–manoeuvre when joining the A14.
