FAQ's

 Yes – knowing local roads helps you stay calm and confident. While the exact route isn’t shared, practising typical roundabouts or tricky junctions nearby gives you a clear advantage.

 Yes – examiners adjust routes due to roadworks, traffic, or to mix things up. These changes aren’t announced, so staying current is key.

Instructors spot new road signs, layouts, or diversions early. Their knowledge helps you train on current conditions, not outdated ones. Combine their advice with RouteBuddy for the most realistic practice.

2–3 times a week is ideal, especially leading up to your test. Practise at different times of day to handle varied traffic and lighting conditions.

DVSA doesn’t publish test routes. But you can follow GOV.UK for general updates. For realistic route practice, RouteBuddy is the go-to tool learners and instructors trust.
