Garston Liverpool Test Route

Even if Garston Liverpool wasn't closed, you still wouldn't be able to get your hands on an exact test route. Why? The DVSA no longer publishes test routes as a measure to prevent candidates from memorising routes for their practical. No matter which test centre you head to, if you're completing a driving course with a local instructor, they'll be more than familiar with the roads most likely to feature on your test. As such, they'll have you working on your skills on the roads. If you're heading to Speke Liverpool, you can take a look at videos of test routes on YouTube.

What To Expect On The Day

Worried about taking your practical? Don’t be—your driving lessons are designed to get you fully test-ready. If you’re still nervous, taking your instructor on your test might calm those nerves. Regardless of which test centre you end up taking your practical at, you need to get there 10 minutes early with your provisional. The test will then proceed with: 

  • An eyesight test, where you’ll need to read a number plate from a distance of 20 metres
  • Two “show me, tell me” questions covering vehicle safety and maintenance
  • Twenty minutes of general driving, where you’ll be guided by the examiner, and will also need to perform one of the following manoeuvres:
  • Twenty minutes of independent driving, during which you’ll either follow sat nav directions or sign posts to reach a set destination

Results are given to learner drivers almost immediately after the test concludes. Regardless of your result, you'll be handed a feedback sheet which lists any faults you made. The examiner may also give you verbal feedback. Successful candidates wll receive their test pass certificates and have the opportunity to send off for their new, shiny licences.
