The Handsworth driving test centre is on Orgreave Way, on the east side of Sheffield near Waverley. Car tests share the site with lorry and bus tests. Learners come from Handsworth, Woodhouse, Darnall, Beighton, Mosborough and Rotherham.
9,788 car tests were taken there in a year, and it's one of the tougher centres to pass at: 44.1%, below the 50% across Great Britain.
Sheffield's other centre, Middlewood Road, is about 7 miles away on the opposite side of the city, and Rotherham is about 5. Both are further down.
How long is the wait at Handsworth driving test centre?
If you book at Handsworth 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. Earlier dates come free as driving test cancellations, when other learners move or cancel theirs, and we watch for them on your behalf. 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.
