Weston-super-Mare Route 5

Weston-super-Mare Route 5 covers the roads, junctions and manoeuvres around Weston-super-Mare that learners commonly meet on test day.

Weston-super-Mare Route 5 is based around Weston-super-Mare (Plot 11, Sunnyside Road, North Industrial Estate, Weston Super Mare, Somerset, BS23 3PZ) — 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.
