  • The Broadway

    Practise reading the traffic ahead around shops, crossings and turning vehicles. Look for lane signs and choose a safe stopping point away from junctions and crossings.

  • Stanmore Hill

    Practise moving away on an incline in an automatic and controlling your speed downhill. Work on leaving enough space behind the next vehicle when a queue stops on a slope.

  • Marsh Lane and surrounding streets

    Work on the transition from a quieter street to a busier road. Judge the gaps before emerging, keep looking both ways and practise deciding when to wait if visibility is limited.

These are places to practise specific skills. DVSA does not publish its test routes. What to expect on your practical test

Planning your practical test

Test centres to check

Compare Pinner (London) and Mill Hill (London) in the DVSA finder. If you’re closer to Edgware or already practise there, compare the Mill Hill journey with the trip west towards Pinner.

Choosing a test time

If an available test slot puts you on the road during school drop-off or pickup, practise the same approach at that time. Check signed restrictions near schools and leave enough time to follow a different route if needed.
