Driving test route features in South East England

Driving test routes in South East England are strongly shaped by commuter traffic patterns and mixed road networks. Learner drivers taking a practical driving test in this region should be prepared to adapt quickly between slower town traffic and faster main roads.

Common features of driving test routes in South East England include:

• Busy commuter routes during peak hours
