Peebles Driving Test Routes: Key Roads, Roundabouts, and Landmarks

1. Key Roads:

  • A72 (High Street): This main road runs through the town and often features during the test. Be prepared for pedestrian crossings and stop signs.

  • B7062: A narrow road with blind spots and sharp bends, requiring good observation and control.

2. Roundabouts:

  • Peebles Roundabout: Be ready to signal early and check your mirrors as you approach. Watch for cyclists and pedestrians.

  • A72/A703 Junction: Ensure you’re in the correct lane for your exit, as traffic can be heavy.

Tips to Pass:

  • Signal early to give other drivers plenty of time to react.

  • Keep a safe distance from cyclists and pedestrians, especially in busy areas like the High Street.

  • Stay calm on narrow roads like the B7062—use your mirrors to check for oncoming traffic.

  • Be mindful of school zones and other special zones with speed restrictions.

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 Their knowledge helps you train on current conditions, not outdated ones.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.
