Route difficulty
A steady route with a balanced mix of straightforward segments and trickier junctions.
Key roads
- State Street – This is the main 'spine' of this mock route, where traffic is predictably steady, there are frequent turn-ins, and signal changes. Focus on your lane discipline, brake early, and keep performing mirror checks as you progress.
- Hubbard Place – A short but useful reset from the main road where examiners will watch how smoothly you transition from the heavier traffic to a quieter environment. Keep your speed under control and make your checks obvious at every junction.
- Ridge Road – Narrower, residential, and with reduced visibility in places. This section will reward anticipation rather than speed, so position slightly right, ease off early, and show awareness of any parked vehicles.
- Park Road – A longer connector blending residential driving with returning traffic flow. Watch for the gentle bends and vehicles turning ahead. Stay calm and consistent here to showcase your overall control as the route comes to an end.
