What to Expect at Chichester
- Roundabouts are a defining feature — averaging 9.4 per route. Route 1 is the most demanding with 16, including Westhampnett Rd.
- Pass rate 61% — 13.1 points above the national average of 47.9%. One of the more achievable centres, though solid local route knowledge is still the best preparation.
- Key roads to know: Oving Rd, Westhampnett Rd and Spitalfield Lane — these appear across the most routes and are the most likely to feature on your test.
- Route lengths range from 24 to 35 steps — practise all routes rather than focusing on one.
Tricky Spots on the Chichester Test
Junctions and road sections that appear frequently and catch learners out.
1
Roundabout Positioning on A259 Bognor Rd
A259 Bognor Rd features on multiple routes and demands confident lane positioning well before you reach the give way line. Check your mirrors early, signal clearly and commit to your exit — wavering at the last moment is one of the most common reasons for picking up faults here.
2
Staying Sharp on A27 Brighton
You will spend significant time on A27 Brighton during your test, so it is worth getting familiar with its layout in advance. Speed limit changes, busy side roads and parked cars all demand consistent observation — this is not a road to switch off on.
3
Turning onto A283 Petworth / Guildford Rd
Turning at A283 Petworth / Guildford Rd can feel pressured if there is traffic behind you, but it is important to wait for a safe gap. Examiners are not marking you on speed — they are marking you on observation, correct positioning and smooth execution, so take the time you need.
4
Confident Exits at A27
The A27 junction features across several Chichester routes and is a place where exam nerves can cause candidates to rush. Stay composed, check right before entering, position carefully and remember that giving way here is never marked as a fault.
Most Frequent Roads
These roads appear across the most routes — be sure to practise them.
| Road | Routes | Frequency | Typical Feature |
|---|---|---|---|
| Oving Rd | 12 / 14 | Straight ahead | |
| Westhampnett Rd | 12 / 14 | Roundabout | |
