Independent Driving Routes

Welcome

Welcome to Independent Driving Routes.

The driving test now includes independent driving, where you will be asked to follow road signs to a given destination.

The problem with this is that road signs can be complicated to understand. You may only get a few seconds to read them before you've passed them, and some don't show the information you're looking for, or may be missing entirely. All this while you're having to control the car and deal with traffic.

This site is designed to help you learn how to follow road signs and markings without having to concentrate on driving the car.

Meanwhile why not look at the routes that are already here - they will help you to better understand how road signs work and how to look for other clues when you're learning to drive independently in your town or city.
