Who runs it
The Greece driving test is administered by the regional Transport Office (Υπηρεσία Μεταφορών και Επικοινωνιών). Your driving school registers you for the exam with the regional Transport Office (Υπηρεσία Μεταφορών και Επικοινωνιών) and tells you the date.
What the examiner is assessing
Wherever you test, examiners are watching the same fundamentals: all-round observation (especially at junctions), correct mirror use before any change of speed or direction, smooth steering and control, safe positioning and lane discipline, and appropriate speed for the conditions.
The most common reasons people fail
- Observation at junctions — not looking properly before emerging
- Mirrors — missing checks before signalling, slowing or turning
- Steering control and positioning
- Response to traffic lights and other road users
- Inappropriate speed — too fast or too hesitant
How to prepare
The single biggest predictor of passing is familiarity with the roads you'll be tested on. SteerClear generates practice routes around 81 Greece test centres and scores each drive live, so you arrive knowing the junctions, roundabouts and speed changes — free to focus on technique. In Greece, learners drive on public roads only with a driving school, so drive these routes in your lessons: show your instructor a route in the app and drive it together. At home, preview the route and see where it catches people out.
