Burgess Hill leads marginally at 43.2% versus Crawley's challenging 40.1% across these 2 centres that handled 19,060 tests between 2024 and 2025. The M23 corridor creates tough conditions with Gatwick Airport traffic and fast dual carriageways, while Burgess Hill's more suburban environment offers slightly gentler test routes through Mid Sussex. Women outperform men at both centres, achieving 45.1% versus 41.8% in Burgess Hill, while automatic drivers manage 38.6% there - still finding the area's busy roads challenging despite not having to worry about gear changes.
