Using your own car
The car must meet DVSA safety, visibility, tax, MOT, insurance and equipment rules. A test can be cancelled without a refund if the car is unsuitable.

These are not DVSA test routes. We do not know which roads an examiner will use.
Skills to practise for these road environments
These suggestions are derived from mapped nearby features, not from examiner-route information.
Faster-road planning
Build confidence reading signs early, selecting a lane, joining safely and leaving a longer following distance as speeds rise.
Why this is included: Mapped nearby examples include Nursling Spur Motorway (M271), M27, Rownhams Interchange (M271).
Roundabout observations
Practise reducing speed in time, reading lane markings, checking mirrors and making a fresh safety decision at each approach.
Why this is included: OpenStreetMap labels nearby roundabouts including Lord's Hill Roundabout, Palm Road, Hollybrook Roundabout, and maps 30 mini-roundabout points.
Signal-controlled junctions
Practise scanning for lane arrows and stop lines, planning for changing lights, and checking that a junction is clear before proceeding.
Why this is included: OpenStreetMap contains 188 traffic-signal map points within the mapped radius.
Lower-speed road awareness
Practise meeting traffic safely, allowing for parked vehicles, and looking early for pedestrians, cyclists and side-road hazards.
Why this is included: Mapped lower-speed or local-road examples include Romsey Road (A3057), Lord's Hill Roundabout, Tebourba Way (A35).
Changing speed environments
Practise spotting speed-limit changes promptly and choosing an appropriate speed for the road and conditions rather than driving at the limit automatically.
Why this is included: The selected nearby roads carry mapped limits ranging from 30 mph to 70 mph.
