About Worthing Driving Test Centre

Worthing Driving Test Centre is a DVSA location known for roundabout-heavy routes and A-road transitions, particularly around the A27 and A24 corridors. Routes often move quickly from quieter residential streets onto faster roads, meaning candidates must plan early and commit to lanes decisively.
