Hi,

I have y driving test coming up soon and I was wondering how many stop signs there were inside of the traffic branch (CASERNE).

I have practiced around, but we are not allowed inside.

Thanking you in advance.

It shouldn't matter if there is 2 or 10 stop signs.

As a driver, you should be confident to drive safely whilst adhering to the Highway Code in any situation you find yourself in.

What exactly are you worried about?

I’ve heard a few people fail because of these stop lines inside the traffic branch. There’s three entrances, will there be stop lines in all the entrances?

Driving test routes as well as manoeuvres you need to perform may change because examiners don't want you to memorise things just to pass your test. Similarly, they may change the inside of the traffic branch to "confuse" learners who have practiced one thing over and over again in an attempt to get their licence.

All you need to pass the practical test is to be a competent driver and there's good reason for this. When you're going to be on your own, you will need to become aware of your surrounding and respond in a timely manner to circumstances as they arise as your driving instructor will no longer be with you.

Those stop lines you're referring to are not there to make people fail but to gauge the awareness of those taking the tests as you will need that skill when you're on your own. So practice driving on unfamiliar routes to become more alert.
