Drive Wrexham Test Route 1
Watch the route carefully and look for lane markings, changes in speed limits, busy junctions and situations where early planning is needed.
Driving test routes are not fixed. Use this video to understand the local roads and possible hazards rather than trying to memorise a set of directions.
Key areas to watch
These are some of the situations learners should pay particular attention to while watching the Wrexham route.
Busy Roundabouts
Approaching too quickly or leaving lane selection until the last moment, making it harder to follow the correct road position.
Check mirrors early, reduce speed in good time and use road signs and markings to identify the correct lane before entering.
Mold Road
Becoming overwhelmed by traffic, lane markings and vehicles changing position near the busier junctions and roundabouts.
Look well ahead, identify the lane you need early and maintain a safe following distance so you have time to respond.
A483 Slip Roads
Joining at an unsuitable speed or concentrating on the traffic behind while allowing the vehicle to drift on the slip road.
Build an appropriate speed, keep a stable road position and use mirrors and observations to identify a safe gap before joining.
Residential Junctions
Emerging too quickly where parked vehicles, walls or buildings restrict the view into the new road.
Reduce speed early, use effective observations and creep forward carefully when the view is restricted.
Changing Speed Limits
Missing changes in the speed limit or responding too late when moving between residential roads and faster routes.
Look ahead for signs, check mirrors before changing speed and make sure the vehicle is travelling at the correct speed as the new limit begins.
Independent Driving
Focusing too heavily on directions and allowing observations, speed or lane position to become less accurate.
Continue using normal driving routines. Missing a direction is less important than making an unsafe or rushed decision.
