Real driving test routes, recorded on actual tests
Working out where you are…
Share your location and we will list the test centres nearest you.
What you can and cannot know about your test route
Each test centre keeps a pool of routes
Examiners pick from several routes over the roads around the test centre on the day. Which one you get is not knowable in advance.
Every route tests the same things
Junctions, roundabouts, dual carriageways where they exist, and a stretch of independent driving. Knowing the area around your test centre beats knowing a route.
How RoutePOV works
- 1
Find your test centre
We list every test centre, and show how many real recorded routes we hold at each one.
- 2
Drive a recorded route
Play back an actual GPS trace from the driver's seat, with the road names and turns called out as they come.
- 3
Recognise it on test day
You arrive already knowing the awkward junction, the lane markings and the roundabout exits around the test centre.
Common questions
- Are these the official driving test routes?
- No. Official test routes are no longer published, so nobody has the real list. The routes on RoutePOV are GPS traces recorded on actual tests at each test centre, which is the closest honest substitute — they show the roads examiners use, not a guaranteed route.
- Will I get the exact route I practise on my practical driving test?
- Almost certainly not, and you should not try to. Each test centre keeps a pool of routes and the examiner chooses on the day. Practising several routes around your test centre prepares you for whichever one comes up; memorising one leaves you rehearsed for a single drive.
- How much does RoutePOV cost?
- Nothing. Every recorded route we hold at every test centre is free to preview, with no account. Your saved routes and progress are stored on your own device. The RouteBuddy app is the paid step, for turn-by-turn navigation while you actually drive the routes.
- Which test centres are covered?
- Every test centre has a page. Not all of them have recorded routes yet — each page states plainly how many we hold, so you know before you start.
- Can I use it for turn-by-turn navigation in the car?
- RoutePOV is for practising at home before test day. For turn-by-turn sat-nav on every route at your test centre, plus manoeuvres and instructor notes while you drive, use the RouteBuddy app.
Start with one route
Pick your test centre and play back a route that was really recorded on a driving test. It takes a few minutes, and the roads stop being a surprise.
