Google picks the fastest road between the stops, so the line can differ slightly from the roads you actually drive. Treat it as a guide and practise the full route with your instructor. Times shown are approximate drive times.
Tips for practising Swindon test routes
- Drive each route with a qualified instructor or a supervising driver who meets the legal requirements. Never use your phone while driving.
- Set up the route before you set off, and let your passenger read the directions so you can keep your eyes on the road.
- Practise at different times of day so you meet both quiet and busy traffic.
- Do not just memorise the turns. Examiners use many routes, so focus on observation, mirrors and good judgement at every junction.

- Read the Learner’s Hub guides on roundabouts, busy junctions and the POM routine before you drive the routes.
Swindon driving test routes: your questions
Are these the official Swindon driving test routes?
No. The DVSA does not publish test routes and examiners choose them on the day. These are practice routes around the Swindon test centre, so you can get used to the type of roads you may drive.
Are the Swindon test routes free?
Yes. They are free to use, as a courtesy from JM Drive.
Why does Google Maps not start navigating?
Google Maps only starts turn-by-turn navigation when you are at the start of the route. Go to the Swindon driving test centre first, then open the route and press Start.
Can I practise the routes without an instructor?
Only if you drive with a supervising driver who meets the legal requirements for supervising a learner. A driving instructor is the best way to get feedback on the routes.
