A 10.1-mile route heading south to Hollywood and Wythall via Tanworth Lane. Features a mix of 30 mph residential streets and 40 mph rural roads. 8 roundabouts and only 4 traffic lights. About 35 minutes.

Watch Out For

  • Three school zones. Near Dickens Heath and Cheswick Green. 20 mph during school hours. Missing one is a serious fault.
  • Hollywood Lane. 40 mph rural road with limited visibility at bends. Some drivers sit at 30 here, which gets marked as a fault for hesitancy.
  • Give way junctions. Three give way signs along the route. Come to a near-stop and check before proceeding.
  • Sansome Road. Narrow residential street with parked cars. Pass carefully.

Key Tips

  • The 40 mph sections are where the examiner tests your ability to make progress. Drive to the limit when safe.
  • On the return through Haslucks Green Road, the speed changes from 40 to 30 as you re-enter the residential area. Watch for the signs.
