Camborne's car driving tests start from the Carn Brea Hubb on Station Road in Pool, on the leisure centre site between Camborne and Redruth. Truro and Falmouth have no centre of their own, so learners come from Camborne, Redruth, Pool, Hayle, St Ives, Helston, Falmouth, Penryn and Truro.
6,271 car tests were taken there in a year, and it's one of the hardest centres in the country to pass at: 40.6%, below the 50% across Great Britain.
Penzance is the nearest other centre, about 14 miles away, though it only runs on some days. Bodmin is about 29 miles.
How long is the wait at Camborne driving test centre?
If you book at Camborne on your own, the first week with a good choice of free dates is 24+ weeks away. That's about the same as most test centres.
You don't have to wait that out or keep checking yourself. We usually find learners an earlier test date within 1 to 2 weeks of signing up, and often within a few days. The test itself may still be a few weeks away, but it's earlier than the date you'd get booking on your own.
See how that compares with the wait at every test centre in the country.
