Blackburn with Darwen Driving Test Routes

Key Test Route Highlights

Multi-Roundabout Navigation

From the very start, you’ll likely tackle several roundabouts in quick succession - including those on Commercial Road, Mary Leaver Way, and the A666. Approach each one with a clear plan for positioning and timing, stay calm, and give way to the right.

Fast Roads

Most routes involve the A666 or Haslingden Road - faster roads that may require merging or lane changes. Maintain a steady speed, leaving good space, and perform mirror and shoulder checks before moving between lanes or exiting.

Residential and Narrow Streets

You’ll be taken into quieter housing areas like Priory Drive, Rothesay Road, or Parklands Way. These tighter streets may involve meeting traffic, parked cars, mini roundabouts, or all 3! Keep things slow... and be ready to give way if needed.

Steady Transitions

The routes have been designed to test how you cope adjusting between high-traffic main roads and smaller residential areas. Look ahead to spot changes in speed limits and potential hazards as you transition between these different driving environments.
