Online driving tutorial - Leaving Avonmouth Test Centre

This guide on leaving Avonmouth test centre is needed as it's not as straight forward as it should be. Especially if you've never been there before. What you don't want is something weird right at the very beginning of the most important 40 minutes of driving in your life. 

Start in a bay

You'll be starting in a bay (hopefully facing forward), so make sure you POM thoroughly before moving. Remember, there are possibly another 10 learners all leaving at the same time as you.

Within seconds you could be having to give way to cars entering or leaving the circular car parking bay area. Be ready to stop there. After emerging, two seconds later you'll definitely need to stop at the stop line. There is no sign, just STOP written on the floor accompanied by a solid white line. You MUST stop at all stop lines, no matter how clear you think it is.

You'll turn left here.

The arrows will now guide you around the large truck MOT testing building down a narrow one way ally. At the end there is another STOP line. Again, you must stop here. Once you get going, stay to the left in your normal drive position, to the outside of tarmacked area.

Once you've gone around the outside and coming back on yourself you'll need to stay in lane and next to the building (bearing right avoiding the new MOT testing lane) until you reach the end where you'll need to follow the signs on the floor labelled EXIT, which requires you to drift back to the left and the outside near the bushes.

You simply follow it around to the exit where you'll receive instructions on either turning left or right.

I have heard examiners guide test candidates through all of this. Better to be safe than sorry and spend two minutes looking over this.
