Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about practising this route.
Are these the real driving test routes?
Route 06 covers the roads, junctions and manoeuvres around Kettering that learners commonly meet on test day. Examiners choose the exact route on the day, so there's no single official list — but practising the local roads you're most likely to be sent down is one of the best ways to prepare and to settle test-day nerves.
How difficult is Route 06, and is it good for beginners?
Route 06 is rated moderate (3/5). It's a balanced route — comfortable once you've got the basics, with enough variety to keep you on your toes.
How long does Route 06 take to drive?
It's about 21.1 km and takes roughly 22 min at a steady test pace. Leave a little extra for traffic and lights, and plan to drive it more than once — most learners find the route clicks into place by the second or third run.
Where does Route 06 start?
Route 06 is based around Kettering — the same neighbourhood your test sets off from. Starting from there lets you practise the first few turns exactly as you'll meet them on the day.
How do I practise Route 06?
Open Route 06 in the Driving Routes app for hands-free, voice-guided turn-by-turn navigation with CarPlay and Android Auto, so a learner driver can keep their eyes on the road while an instructor or supervising driver focuses on coaching.
