Lincoln's driving test centre is on Earlsfield Close, off Sadler Road, in the south west of the city near Birchwood and Hartsholme. It's the only practical test centre in Lincoln, and learners come from across the city and from North Hykeham, Waddington, Saxilby and Welton.
6,192 car tests were taken there in a year, and the pass rate is 52.1%, close to the 50% across Great Britain.

How long is the wait at Lincoln driving test centre?
If you book at Lincoln 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.
