Southend driving test centre car park
Posted 04 September 2025 — Anyone

DVSA are asking driving instructors not to drive into, or park in the test centre car park or access road, unless it is immediately before or after a test appointment.
Because during busy times it becomes congested.
The test centre shares a car park and has a limited amount of parking assigned for tests.
If you want to show the area to your pupils, you can park nearby and walk to it. Candidates should practice parking manoeuvres away from the test centre.
Where can we park on test day?
Parking for driving test appointments is immediately before the exit following the one way system.
DVSA thank you for your support and understanding on this issue.
