1. By car

From the A27 leave at Lancing Manor Roundabout, follow signs to Lancing Business Park, then turn south along Western Road and into Chartwell Road; the DVSA sign is on your left. Bays are tight—arrive no more than ten minutes early to avoid blocking HGVs.

2. By public transport

• Train – Lancing station (West Coastway line) is a ten‑minute walk via South Street and Marlborough Road.
• Bus – Stagecoach Coastliner 700 runs every 10 minutes between Brighton and Littlehampton, stopping on Western Road at the Business Park gate.

3. Cycling / walking

National Cycle Network Route 2 hugs the seafront half a mile south. Follow the signed link up South Street to Chartwell Road. Covered racks sit outside the Business Park reception.

1. Lancing Manor Roundabout (A27 / A2025)

Typical slip‑up: spiral‑lane exits catch late lane‑changers.
Quick fix: read the painted arrows 100 m out and hold 25–30 mph through the circle.

2. Old Shoreham Road 50 → 30 drops

Typical slip‑up: downhill section towards South Lancing tempts over‑speeding.
Quick fix: ease off before the 30 sign and use engine‑braking.

3. Chartwell Road HGV pinch‑points

Typical slip‑up: delivery lorries narrow the carriageway to single file.
Quick fix: scan two truck‑lengths ahead, pick a passing place and communicate early.

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

Manoeuvres usually happen in the on‑site bays (bay parking is a favourite) or on Marlborough Road for parallel parking. The first pull‑out is onto a 30 mph industrial road—practise smooth second‑gear roll‑offs and mirror checks.

2. What to Expect on the Day

Bring your provisional licence and arrive ten minutes early. You’ll:

• Read a number plate from 20 m
• Answer one “show me, tell me” question
• Perform one reversing manoeuvre
• Possibly complete an emergency stop
• Do 20 minutes of independent sat‑nav or sign‑led driving

Examiners watch mirror–signal–manoeuvre discipline keenly at every speed‑limit change.

3. After You Pass

DVSA stats show Lancing’s recent pass rate averaging 47%, slightly above the 45.9% national mean. Results are uploaded immediately; your full photocard usually arrives within two weeks. Consider Pass Plus for confidence on the A27 and A24, and compare telematics insurance deals straight away.

4. What If You Don’t Pass?

Not passing can feel discouraging, but DriveBot finds the earliest retest—whether you stay with Lancing or switch to Burgess Hill or Chichester—so you spend less time waiting and more time improving.
