This 13.71km, 30.5-minute route is one of the shortest at Bletchley, only four of the office's 25 routes are shorter. It heads through Wilton Avenue out to Ashland, Tinkers Bridge and Passmore, one of only two Bletchley routes reaching that side of town. In a single stage you'll meet 9 left and 6 right turns, 3 roundabouts and 2 sets of traffic lights, speeds ranging 20 to 70mph.

Watch Out For

  • Four school zone stretches with reduced limits and children about, ease off early rather than braking late.
  • Seven give way junctions in total, several close together near the town centre.

Route Features

  • Runs along Brooklands Road before opening out to 60 and 70mph limits.
  • Only 3 roundabouts and 2 traffic light sets, fewer junctions than most routes here, so more open-road driving.

Test Manoeuvres

  • Pull up on the left is practised at the kerbside stop point, where examiners check your mirrors and signal timing before you move off.

Key Tips

  • With more left turns than right, expect several give-way-then-turn-left situations, keep speed controlled on approach.
  • The route mixes 20mph school areas with 60-70mph sections, so anticipate limit changes rather than reacting late.
