5 Focus Areas

A number of the 24+ test routes documented share common roads, junctions and roundabouts. It makes sense to practise these a little more given the likelihood of them appearing during your practical exam:

  • London Road (A515):
    A key route leaving and re-entering Buxton with changing speed limits. Build your speed smoothly and keep aware of any vehicles entering from the side roads.

  • Spring Gardens and Market Place:
    Typical town-centre driving with pedestrians, narrow roads, and parked cars. Try to keep your speed low and controlled - this section rewards calm, patient driving.

  • Harpur Hill Road and Berwick Road:
    Slightly rural, with hilly bends mixed with tighter junctions. Try to look ahead through curves and adjust your speed gently for better visibility.

  • Dukes Drive and Ashwood Dale:
    These winding, scenic roads are often used as a rural part of the test. Stay in control, position yourself well on approaching bends, and be ready for any oncoming traffic.

  • Green Lane and Cavendish Avenue:
    Residential areas near the test centre which are perfect for carrying out manoeuvres. It's worth familiarising yourself and practising a few here.

Satnav Driving Test


In your driving test, the examiner will choose a preferred route on the Sat nav. You will be expected to follow the route chosen by the examiner as well as the directions from the SatNav. The model and make of the device won’t matter, this is because our test-routes are compatible with lots of devices.You can’t use your personal SatNav during the Buxton driving examination. For more information, you can get recent changes to the driving test here.

Practice


Route-led provides customers with a high degree of support and help to use Route-led's test routes. You’ll get used to all the different sections of the roads to be travelled during the examination. We suggest using a skilled driving teacher in addition. For extra free information on what you can do to pass your driving examination go to Driving Test Practice

Independent Driving Test


The Independent driving test doesn’t test your ability to follow directions. In addition, an independent driving test does not check your ability to remember directions. If you query the examiner for the directions, he/she should confirm them for you. Going off route will not change your test results at all. Don’t worry about unclear traffic signs as the examiner will assist you if you need it. Please note that you can’t bring your own Sat-Nav device with you to take the test. This is due to the fact that your own Sat-nav device will be setup to give step by step instructions.


Buxton Test Centre Details


Buxton test centre is located at The Dairy, 7 Green Lane, Buxton Derbyshire SK17 9DS. There should be ramp access for wheelchair users but it would be best to call to confirm. There are also quite often disabled, female and male toilets for use at the test centre but it's probably better to go before you travel there! It is sometimes possible to park at the test centre. If not, it ought to be fine to park close by and walk. Be prepared for one-way streets, difficult junctions, busy roads and roundabouts. Navigating test-routes while learning to drive can be very helpful, as it allows you to learn on roads that you will certainly be driving during your test.



Address: The Dairy, 7 Green Lane, Buxton Derbyshire SK17 9DS
Test Centre Parking: Parking could be available at the test centre. If it is not, park nearby and head by foot.
Toilets: There are quite often female, disabled and male facilities at the test centre but better to use these at home before.
Disabled access: You ought to be able to access the test centre in a wheelchair but telephone in advance to confirm.
