This is a 10.6 km route lasting about 23.5 minutes in a single stage, covering the Church Drive and Hayes area south of West Wickham. Speeds range from 30 mph to 40 mph, and it is the test centre's reference route here, featuring 2 roundabouts, a single set of traffic signals and 6 left turns against only 2 right turns.

Watch Out For

  • A cluster of mini roundabouts near Pickhurst Lane, where you give way to traffic on the right and signal left as you exit.
  • The one set of traffic signals on the route, so plan your lane and observation early.
  • Residential side roads off Glebe Way with parked cars narrowing the carriageway.

Route Features

  • A mix of 30 mph residential streets and faster 40 mph stretches.
  • Steady left turns dominate, with frequent junctions through Queensway.

Test Manoeuvres

  • A pull up on the left near Wickham Court Road, signalling and checking mirrors before stopping safely at the kerb.

Key Tips

  • Approach each roundabout in the correct lane and give way to the right.
  • Keep your speed under control on the 40 mph sections without drifting over the limit.
