About Chatswood Service Centre Driving Test Center
The Chatswood test centre combines the intensely busy traffic of a major commercial hub with quiet but steep residential streets. A significant portion of the test is often conducted on and around the Pacific Highway, which has enormous traffic volume with numerous lane changes and signalised intersections. The other major challenge lies in the surrounding residential areas, known for their steep hills and sharp bends, posing a tough test of hill starts, vehicle control, and speed management. Some streets are very narrow and lined with parked cars, increasing the difficulty of safe passage. School zones, such as the one near Chatswood Public School, are a guaranteed feature with strict enforcement. Examiners place particular emphasis on a candidate's smoothness and safety when handling steep gradients, navigating narrow streets, and transitioning between the busy highway and quiet local roads.
