Lowestoft (Mobbs Way)

Lowestoft’s Mobbs Way Driving Test Centre (Unit 3, Oakland House Business Centre, NR32 3AL) serves north Suffolk from the edge of Oulton Broad. A 40‑minute route blends a 50 → 30 camera drop on the A146 Beccles Road, parked‑car chicanes through Whitton Estate, and brisk dual‑carriageway work on the A47 Eastern Relief Road. The 2024 pass rate is ≈ 45 %, a touch under the GB mean. Parking is on‑site but there are no toilets. Tests typically book 10–12 weeks ahead—unless you grab a DriveBot cancellation.

How To Get There

1. By car

From the A47 exit at Harbour Road, follow Victoria Road north, then turn left into Mobbs Way; the DVSA sign faces the LOS Electrical units. Arrive no more than 10 minutes early as bays double as business parking.

2. By public transport

  • Bus 106 (First Eastern Counties) runs hourly from Lowestoft Bus Station; alight at Highland Way and walk 8 minutes via Rowan Way.
  • RailOulton Broad North station is 1.1 miles (≈ 22 min walk) via Bridge Road and Victoria Road.

3. Cycling / walking

NCN Route 1 skirts Lake Lothing; leave at Normanston Park, ride along Victoria Road to Mobbs Way, and secure your bike at the Oakland House stands.

Common Local Pitfalls

1. A146 Beccles Road 50 → 30 drop

Slip‑up – Mobile camera van outside the high school nails late braking.
Fix – Spot the van bay, lift off early, stabilise at 30 mph.

2. Mobbs Way van‑park squeeze

Slip‑up – Parked light‑industrial vans force single file; learners forget priority.
Fix – Scan two van‑lengths ahead, choose a passing place, signal decisively.

3. Normanston Drive mini‑roundabouts

Slip‑up – Three back‑to‑back circles cause lane‑drift faults.
Fix – Select lanes well in advance, roll at 18–20 mph, mirror on each exit.

More You Need To Know

1. About Lowestoft (Mobbs Way) Test Centre

No on‑site toilets—use Tesco Express on Crestview Drive (5 min walk). Examiners favour bay‑parking in the yard and parallel parking on Crompton Road. First pull‑out is onto a 30 mph bend—practise smooth second‑gear roll‑offs.

2. What to Expect on the Day

Arrive 10 minutes early with your provisional. You’ll:

  • Complete a 20 m eyesight check
  • Answer one show me, tell me question
  • Perform one reversing manoeuvre (bay or parallel)
  • Possibly do an emergency stop
  • Drive ~20 minutes independently via sat‑nav or signs

Mirror–signal–manoeuvre habits are scrutinised at every A47 merge.

3. After You Pass

A 44.9 % pass rate beats Ipswich (≈ 40 %) but trails Norwich (≈ 51 %). Results upload instantly; expect your photocard in about two weeks. Compare telematics insurance early—first‑year Suffolk savings average £290.

4. What If You Don’t Pass?

A fail isn’t final—DriveBot scans Lowestoft, Norwich, and Bury St Edmunds for the earliest retest slot, keeping your momentum.

5. Can’t Find Earlier Driving Test Cancellations?

DriveBot provides:

  • Instant alerts when a slot appears
  • Flexible filters for radius, date window, gearbox
  • Zero hassle – DriveBot refreshes DVSA pages while you practise
