Chester #748 Free
A 19.1 km route from Chester DVSA test centre, taking about 34 minutes. This route shares identical stats with Route #745 (12 roundabouts, 16 traffic lights) and follows the same corridor via Liverpool Road, Rake Lane, and Longlooms Road near Cheshire Oaks. It is a variant of the same area, returning via Strawberry Way West. Together with Route #745, these form the toughest junction-handling pair in Chester.
Watch Out For
- Longlooms Road roundabout cluster. Multiple roundabouts near Cheshire Oaks. Maintain lane discipline through each one.
- Kinsey Road junction. Turning point in a busy area. Check for traffic from all directions.
- Wolverham Road residential streets. 20 mph zone with parked cars on both sides. Go slowly and watch for pedestrians.
- Newnham Drive area. Residential cul-de-sac sections with tight turns.
Route Features
- 5 left turns and 1 right turn
- 12 roundabouts (joint highest for Chester)
- 16 sets of traffic lights (joint highest for Chester)
- Speed range: 20-60 mph
- Key roads: Stanney Lane, Milton Road, Cambridge Road
Test Manoeuvres

Key Tips
- If you have practised Route #745, the roundabout sequences here will feel familiar. The same lane and signalling skills apply.
- The 5:1 left-turn bias means most of your turns are to the left. Still check your left mirror and blind spot before turning.
- On Old Farm Way and nearby residential streets, watch for children and slow-moving traffic.
