A38 and Kings Mill Road sections require confident speed and lane control on dual carriageways

A sample 2026 driving test route in Ashfield, covering major roundabouts and residential zones

Passed first time at Ashfield! The routes here heavily test your roundabout discipline. My test included the A38 junctions, which were very busy. My advice: practice your lane positioning early and keep checking your mirrors. Once you get past the major roundabouts, the residential streets are much calmer.— Liam Thompson
Failed near the Kings Mill Hospital roundabout. The road markings there are quite worn out and confusing if you aren't a local. I ended up in the wrong lane for my exit. The route also transitioned quickly from 60mph dual carriageways to narrow 20mph zones, so watch your speed transitions carefully！.— Sarah Jenkins
Ashfield routes in 2026 are a mix of everything. The Independent Driving section often takes students through Sutton-in-Ashfield town centre where pedestrian crossings are frequent. I always tell my students to focus on 'meeting situations' in the narrow backstreets—hazard perception is the key to passing here. — David Miller
