Scottish driving test route questions
Are these the official driving test routes?
No. The routes are intended for driving practice and familiarisation with roads around driving test centre areas. They should not be treated as official or guaranteed test routes.
Can I find routes for my local test centre?
Use the regional links above to find the areas currently covered. More individual test-centre pages can be added as coverage expands.
Will practising a route guarantee I pass?
No. The purpose of route practice is to help build experience and confidence. You still need the driving skills and judgement required for the practical driving test.
Should I use the app while driving?
Your phone should be safely mounted and set up before driving. Do not hold or interact with your phone while driving.
