1. Rosehill gyratory (A217)

• Typical slip‑up – last‑second lane change from Sutton to Morden exit across solid lines.
• Quick fix – choose lane 3 for Morden 300 m back, hold 25 mph and follow the spiral lane markings without drift.

2. St Helier Avenue 30 mph SPECS

• Typical slip‑up – drifting to 35 mph on the dual carriageway and triggering both poles.
• Quick fix – lock speed at an indicated 28 mph, maintain a safe two‑second gap and avoid unnecessary overtakes.

3. Commonside West 20 mph traffic‑calming

• Typical slip‑up – hitting the sinusoidal humps at 25 mph and unsettling the car.

1. About Mitcham (London) Test Centre from a Learner’s View

The South‑London centre sits on Redhouse Road, CR0 3AQ, tucked behind an industrial estate. A compact bay‑lined yard fills fast; when spaces vanish, starts are kerbside beside dust‑cart skips, testing observation early. Learners warm up with a loop across Mitcham Common car‑park.

2. What to Expect on the Day

Reverse‑bay or parallel parking appears first. Independent driving commonly follows the A236 Croydon Road to Thornton Heath Pond, circles the A23 Purley Way retail strip, then returns—look out for 20‑mph zones, bus‑lane hours and zebra crossings. Examiners stage emergency stops on Beddington Lane’s straight and scrutinise mirror use at the Lombard Roundabout complex.

3. After You Pass

Photocard licences generally appear within ten days. Pass Plus routes across the M23 up to Gatwick, the fast A3 Kingston bypass and the South Circular sharpen high‑speed lane‑changing skills.

4. What If You Don’t Pass?

DriveBot tracks Mitcham, Morden and Croydon 24 × 7 so you can retest weeks sooner.
