Driving Licence Examination Centre Locations in the EU

A dataset of driving licence examination centre locations and facilities, likely sourced from European Union member states. The data was published by the Bureau de Recherches Géologiques et Minières (BRGM) and was last updated on the platform in March 2019. The description indicates centres may include administrative offices, theory exam rooms, and practical test tracks for motorcycles and heavy trucks.

Use Cases

• Map the geographic distribution of driving test facilities based on the location data implied by the WFS service.
• Analyze the types of practical tests offered (e.g., motorcycle, heavy truck) based on the described track categories.
• Assess infrastructure availability for driver licensing based on the described premises (offices, exam rooms, tracks).

Strengths

• Data is provided via a standardized Web Feature Service (WFS) for direct download.
• The description specifies distinct facility types (administrative offices, theory exam rooms, practical test tracks).

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Last updated 2019-03-29 00:00:00; freshness should be verified.
