Stoke-On-Trent (Cobridge) #2025 Free
A 7.8 mile drive of about 28 minutes, run in one stage and staying entirely within the 30 mph streets around Smallthorne. It carries 10 roundabouts, more than any other route from this office, so the whole test is built around approach speed, observation and lane choice rather than open road driving.
Watch Out For
- Ten roundabouts in under eight miles, several arriving in quick succession.
- 14 sets of traffic lights, so filter lanes and green arrows come up often.
- Four marked cycle lanes and a school area with a reduced limit and children nearby.
Route Features
- Town centre work around Westport Road and Scotia Road.
- A northern leg on Biddulph Road.
- Eight marked turns, five of them right, so gap judgement is tested repeatedly.
Test Manoeuvres
- Pull up on the left near the finish of the route.
Key Tips
- Give way to the right at every roundabout and signal left as you exit.
- Hold 30 mph where it is clear, since slow driving is marked on this route.
