Whilst conducting the independent driving test, the examiner will request the learner driver to follow directions from the Sat-Nav. The examiner will provide an already setup Tomtom Start 52 device. All you’ll have to do is to take directions from the device. The make or model of the Sat Nav that you’ll use in your practise sessions won’t matter one bit.

Being a service-oriented company, we supply our clients with extra help and support for Route-LED's test routes. Learning with Route-led's test-routes allows the customers to practise the junctions, corners and roads that they will encounter during their driving tests.To help the learner in learning how to drive safely and in addition to perform well during the driving examination, we definitely recommend using an experienced driving instructor. How it works

In the course of the independent driving test, the examiner will give the student all the relevant instructions. In case the student gets lost along the way, they will be required to confirm the instructions from the test examiner. Students cannot use their own Sat-Nav devices for independent driving because they give detailed voice prompts. Independent driving will test the skill of the examinee to undertake independent decisions.
