Local tips for a Coventry test
- There are fewer roundabouts than usual (2.9 per route against 4.3), so ordinary junctions carry more of the drive: 144 right turns and 137 left turns across our routes.
- 40% of roundabout exits on these routes are the third or later. Signal right on approach, take the right-hand lane unless the markings say otherwise, and signal left once you pass the exit before yours (Highway Code rule 186).
- Pass rates here span 13.2 points. The test is the same at every centre, the roads are not, so drive a centre's routes before you decide where to book.
- Rugby Road is on more of our Coventry routes than any other road. Drive it before test day, in both directions if you can, so its junctions and limits are familiar.
