- Maidstone - The town has a wide range of different types of driving that the other towns just can't match. There are country roads, town roads, one-way systems, dual carriageways, hills, roundabouts and D-junctions (don't ask!)
- Tunbridge Wells is mainly small, congested town roads, with dozens of difficult, blind junctions. The test centre sits on the side of a one-way system. There are some unusual roundabouts that need attention. The middle of town is split into a maze of small roads with the Pantiles on one side.
- Sevenoaks is Zebra Crossing City! there are over a dozen crossing in the main part of town alone - and no-one ever uses them! There are very few roundabouts but the smaller roads are difficult and need care to negotiate. The test centre is situates in a small side road and is impossible to park in or near without great care.
- Gillingham has the lowest pass rate and if you don't like roundabouts - forget it! The local drivers are VERY aggressive and some of the junctions are just very big and difficult (one has to ignore the road signs to get around 1 particular roundabout!) The smaller roads are continuously congested with parked cars - and they want to build a super-centre there!!!

Where should I take my test?
GT Driving School is based in Maidstone and takes tests in the local towns - namely Maidstone, Tunbridge Wells, Sevenoaks and Gillingham. Each town has its own pros and cons (sometimes more cons than pros)!
