since the roads are easy and a constant 50 is it easy to pass your test ?

Failed one test, got another in a couple of weeks. Let’s see :)
No_Improvement_3769@reddit
how did you manage to get another so quick?

I bought a test from a scalper in the end. Paid £100 for it

Depends on the person really, I know people who passed first try, second try and third try. There's even a guy I know that's been doing tests for 3 years and failing.
Xtc_fudge@reddit (OP)
3 years???? 😂😂😂 shouldn’t be driving if he’s failing that many
WorkingWolf3781@reddit
You’ll be in a similar situation if you think the speed limit is 50 bud.
crummy_spingus@reddit
I mean... Clearly he isn't driving cause he can't bloody pass

The pass rate in Bletchley is 40.4% which is well below the national average.

Yup. My son took 4 attempts and after 18 months of waiting for tests each time he finally passed just last Friday. The examiners in Bletchley are harsh. 2 of the 3 failures were due to other drivers and he had only 5 minors between all the tests!

Glad he passed. I recommend my students go to leighton buzzard.

We almost went down that route - I took my test in LB nearly 30 years ago and we lived there till my son was 9 so he’s familiar with LB - but test dates were few and far between, so we settled for better the devil you know.

Is that IKEA roundabout still there as a test route? Just curious!
winterproject@reddit
There’s a load of different routes so it helps to drive literally everywhere around Bletchley, Westcroft area and villages west of Bletchley - Newton Longville, Newton Leys, Whaddon as that is basically where my son did his tests.

No, because tyou have to accommodate loads of idiots on the test route roads who don't understand lane discipline and roundabouts (especially how to signal at them) and wear their caps/hats/whatever *inside* their cars.
Lewk_io@reddit
If you think the roads are constant 50 then it won't be easy for you
Notagelding@reddit
Constant 50? Where is the speed limit 50?
Roundabouts are probably the biggest threat to failing a test in MK. Make sure you practise them, especially in the Bletchley area.

They’ll take you to “the stop sign” in Bletchley don’t worry.
T0MBRA1DR@reddit
To many roundabouts m8 don’t get the idea it will be easy

Test centre is Bletchley so some weirder roads than straight H’s & V’s, but yeah, reasonably easy. Although having never taken one anywhere else, who knows.
