What to Expect at Chorley

  • Pass rate 50%, close to the national average of 47.9% — a fair test. Consistent preparation across all routes is what counts.
  • Routes vary significantly in length — from 15 to 36 steps. Route 3 is the most demanding overall; Route 12 the most straightforward.
  • Turn balance leans left — 142 left turns vs 96 right across all routes. Left turns and emerging onto busier roads are a consistent theme.
  • Key roads to know: Eaves Lane, Rossall Rd and Lyons Lane — these appear across the most routes and are the most likely to feature on your test.

Tricky Spots on the Chorley Test

Junctions and road sections that appear frequently and catch learners out.

1
Lane Discipline at Ackhurst Rd
Ackhurst Rd is one of the key roundabout challenges on the Chorley test. Practise your approach so that lane choice feels automatic, and always check right before committing — giving way too late or pulling out too early are both marked faults.
2
Keeping Safe on Astley Rd
If you are practising for your Chorley test, make sure you spend time on Astley Rd. It features across most routes and asks for consistent mirror use, smooth speed management and awareness of pedestrians and junctions.
3
MSM Discipline on Astley St
Candidates are often caught out at Astley St by underestimating how much time they need to emerge safely. Slow down early, get a clear view of the road and only go when you are certain — a smooth, confident emerge beats a rushed one every time.
4
Handling the Babylon Lane Roundabout
The Babylon Lane roundabout appears with different exit requirements depending on which route you are on. Knowing your exit before you arrive is essential — late decisions lead to wrong lanes, missed signals and stressed driving that examiners notice immediately.

Most Frequent Roads

These roads appear across the most routes — be sure to practise them.
