Cannington PDA Driving Test Routes Book Test

Cannington has a 41% pass rate, which is average for Perth but below the national average of 62%. It's a busy shopping district area with challenging roundabouts and variable speed limits. If possible, Success (49%) or Butler (46%) are better choices.

Key challenges include: 1) Albany Highway to William Street right turn with complex lane markings, 2) Both single and double-lane roundabouts, 3) Variable speed limits (70 to 50, 40 in school zones), 4) Many pedestrian crossings, 5) Busy shopping traffic.

This right turn is just 100m from the centre. After turning, there are two lanes divided by an unbroken white line. If returning to centre, you only have about 70m after the line becomes broken to change lanes and turn left. Practice this specifically.

Cannington has both single and double-lane roundabouts near busy shopping areas. Approach with care, check for vehicles already circulating, signal correctly, and merge only when safe. Practice both types before your test.

Speed limits change quickly around Cannington - from 70 down to 50, or 40 in school zones. Examiners watch closely that you adjust speed early and safely. Know where the speed changes are on test routes.

Blind spot checks must be dramatic and obvious - your shoulder must visibly move. If the examiner can't see you checking, it counts as not checking. Make the head movement exaggerated.

Slow down to about 20 km/h before turns and roundabouts. This gives you time to assess the situation and shows the examiner you're being cautious.

Use your own car if you're comfortable with it. One user failed their second attempt at Cannington because they weren't familiar with the instructor's rental car, but passed on third attempt using their own car.

If your parking isn't perfect, the examiner may ask 'Are you happy?' This is your chance to adjust! Take the opportunity to fix your position rather than leaving it imperfect.

Book minimum 3-5 driving lessons specifically in the Cannington area. Practice on the same roads assessors use. Get familiar with the Albany Highway turn and local roundabouts.

Cannington is a busy shopping district with many pedestrian crossings. Examiners check that you slow down and prepare to stop, even when no one is crossing. Always scan for pedestrians.

Avoid peak shopping hours when traffic is heaviest. Weekday mid-morning may be quieter. Know the test routes well before your test day.
