Drive Rhyl Test Route 2
Watch a full test-length journey condensed into around ten minutes, with particular attention to changing road types, speed limits, roundabouts and faster-road planning.
The examiner may use different roads or directions. Use this video to improve your understanding of the area rather than trying to memorise one fixed route.
Key areas to watch
Focus on the driving skills needed to deal safely with the changing roads and traffic conditions along this route.
Leaving the Test Centre
Allowing nerves to affect observations, positioning or speed during the first few minutes of the drive.
Settle into your normal routines, check mirrors before changing speed or direction and avoid rushing the opening part of the route.
Kinmel Bay and St Asaph Avenue
Missing speed changes, pedestrian activity or developing hazards while concentrating too heavily on the directions.
Keep scanning well ahead, identify signs early and adjust speed smoothly before reaching hazards or lower-speed areas.
Rhuddlan Roads
Approaching bends, junctions or narrowing roads too quickly and then making late steering or braking decisions.
Read the road shape early, use an appropriate approach speed and position the vehicle with enough space for other road users.
A55 Joining and Leaving
Joining at an unsuitable speed, failing to assess traffic early enough or making a late lane change before leaving.
Build speed appropriately on the slip road, use mirrors early, identify a safe gap and plan exits well before reaching them.
St Asaph Business Park
Losing lane discipline or making hurried decisions at unfamiliar roundabouts and industrial-estate junctions.
Use signs and markings to plan the correct lane, approach at a controlled speed and keep checking the surrounding traffic.
Returning Towards Rhyl
Relaxing too early near the end of the route and allowing mirror checks, positioning or speed control to become less consistent.
Maintain the same standard until the vehicle is safely parked and the examiner confirms that the test has finished.
