While conducting the independent driving test, the examiner will ask the student to follow directions from the SatNav device. The examiner will bring an already setup Tom-Tom Start 52 device. All you will have to do is to follow directions from the device. The model or make of the Sat-Nav that you will use in your learning sessions won’t make a difference one bit. As a leading Satnav company, we provide test routes for Garmin, Android, Tomtom and iPhone devices.You can’t use your personal SatNav in the driving examination.

We aim to supply customers with a lot of support and help with our routes. You’ll speedily become skilled at the various routes provided. That said, we of course recommend having someone that is a skilled instructor.

When you go off the independent driving route, it won’t have any impact on your examination score except if you make an additional driving fault, break a traffic regulation or make a traffic offence. In the case where you do an incorrect route choice, the examiner will help you get back to the correct route. In case of obscure or poor traffic signs, the test examiner will direct the examinee until they arrive at the following visible traffic sign. The learner does not need to have a good knowledge of the area. You can’t use your own Sat-Nav for independent driving, as it gives the student turn-by-turn prompts. The independent driving section will test if you can effect safe independent decisions.
