Basingstoke Driving Test Routes

Key Test Route Highlights

Ring Road Confidence

Several routes involve Basingstoke's Ringway system, including Ringway South and Ringway West. These roads can be fast-moving with multiple exits close together so practise reading the road signs early and safely moving into the correct lane.

Handling Residential Road Patterns

You'll be guided through tight residential roads like Sheppard Road, Sullivan Road, and Lightfoot Grove. You can expect parked cars, sharp bends, and mini-roundabouts to navigate.

Multiple Roundabouts in Succession

Basingstoke loves its roundabouts - and your route may include several in quick succession. This includes areas like Brighton Way, Hatch Warren Way, and Grove Road. Be sure to practise correct roundabout technique at every single one.

Quiet Roads and Busier Town Centres

You may be taken from quiet suburbs to busier areas near the town centre or hospital roads like Cliddesden Road or Hackwood Road. Be ready for any quick changes in traffic flow, pedestrian activity, and more complicated junctions.
