Frequently asked questions

Are these the real Scarborough driving test routes?

The DVSA stopped publishing official test routes in 2010, so nobody can promise the exact route your examiner will choose. These 5 routes are built from the roads around Scarborough test centre and approved in the DriveSidekick app, so they cover the junctions, roundabouts and road types examiners use locally.

How do I put a Scarborough test route on my iPhone?

Open a route and tap "Open in Apple Maps" to load it as a multi-stop journey, or "Open in Google Maps". Apple Maps can't import GPX files, but apps like Google My Maps (via the KML download), OsmAnd and most sat-navs can.
