Coventry #647 Free
This 9.2-mile, 28-minute route has the most right turns (13) of any Coventry test route, making it a thorough test of cross-traffic observation. It heads north through Sergeant Simon Valentine Way to Bedworth, looping through Leicester Road and Collycroft before returning south on the Bedworth Bypass. The southern section passes through Phoenix Way and Wheelwright Lane in Ash Green. A school zone near Mount Drive requires extra caution. Speed limits range from 30 to 70 mph.
Watch Out For
- Rye Piece Ringway. Multi-lane ringway in Bedworth centre; lane selection is critical for your exit direction.
- Nuneaton Road / Hill Street. Junction area in Collycroft with right turns across oncoming traffic; check thoroughly before committing.
- School zone near Mount Drive. 20 mph advisory zone during school hours; watch for children and lollipop patrols.
- Arbury Avenue. Residential road with right turns into side streets; oncoming traffic may be obscured by parked vehicles.
- Winding House Lane. Transition from Phoenix Way to narrower roads; speed drops from 50 to 30 mph.
Route Features
- 13 right turns, the most of any Coventry route, demanding strong cross-traffic judgement
- Only 3 roundabouts, the joint fewest alongside route 639
- School zone with potential 20 mph advisory near Mount Drive
- 13 traffic signals and a mix of Bedworth town roads and Ash Green village lanes
Test Manoeuvres
- Pull up on the left near Bayton Road
Key Tips
- For each of the 13 right turns, position to the centre line and check right-left-right before committing; rushing right turns is a common serious fault
- Near the school zone, reduce speed regardless of whether you see children; the examiner will expect you to respond to the sign
- On Rye Piece Ringway, follow directional signs and get into the correct lane early; changing lanes at the last moment risks a fault
