An 8.4-mile route taking about 31 minutes, heading south via Town Lane Kew and Wight Moss Way to Birkdale Cop, then along London Lane to the 60 mph Southport Road (A570), before returning through Meols Cop and Blowick. Very similar to Route 673 but with a different outbound path via Wight Moss Way. The 15 left turns, 13 right turns, and 28 total turns make this the most turn-heavy route at this distance.

Watch Out For

  • Southport Road (A570). National speed limit (60 mph). Accelerate smoothly and maintain lane position. Anticipate slower vehicles ahead.
  • Wight Moss Way. A semi-rural road with limited markings. Watch for the 40 mph to 30 mph transition and position early for the Birkdale Cop turn.
  • Jacksmere Lane junction. Rural junction with restricted sightlines. Slow down and look carefully in both directions before turning.
  • Meols Cop Road roundabout. Where the rural road meets the residential area. Traffic patterns change at this junction.
  • Stop sign near Roe Lane. Full stop mandatory. Approaching traffic may be hidden by parked cars.

Key Tips

  • With 28 turns, the route demands non-stop mirror-signal-manoeuvre discipline. Stay focused and methodical
  • The 60 mph section is brief but impactful. Show the examiner you can handle higher speeds confidently
  • On Wight Moss Way, road markings are sparse. Use road position and hedgerows to judge the road edge
