A Bit More About Pembroke Dock

So, what can you expect from your driving test at Pembroke Dock test centre? Well, your route will begin with the examiner taking you around the town centre. There’s a wide variety of compact roads in the area, particularly around Pennar, which might make it challenging when you have to navigate around parked vehicles whilst meeting oncoming traffic.

There are a couple of car parks in Pembroke Dock, one of which might end up being the centre stage for your driving test manoeuvre demonstration. Alternatively, the examiner might decide to have you do it on one of the roads further out in Pembroke or Monkton.

If you’re shaky on roundabouts, you’ll want to get some practice in before your test, as there are quite a few tricky ones scattered around the local area. It might be a good idea to get your instructor to include them on a mock test so you build up your confidence. The A477 also runs through the town, so the examiner will most likely guide you onto it during your test. Depending on the exact route, you might end up near an area like Cosheston or Sageston

Learner drivers heading over to Pembroke Dock, however, have performed much better than this average over the last five years, as you can see in the table below...

• Twenty minutes of general driving, where you’ll be guided by the examiner, and will also need to perform one of the following manoeuvres:
