Recorded Birr RSA Driving Test Centre driving test routes
Are these the official Birr RSA Driving Test Centre driving test routes?
No — and no one has those. The RSA withdrew its published test routes, so there is no current map of the route you will be given. Examiners at Birr RSA Driving Test Centre work from a pool of routes over the surrounding roads and choose on the day. The 19 routes on this page are real GPS traces recorded on tests at this test centre, which is the closest honest substitute: they show the roads examiners actually use.
