Drive each route a few times with your instructor or a supervising driver, then try them in a different order so you are reading the road rather than remembering it.

Frequently asked questions
Are these the real Widnes driving test routes?
The DVSA stopped publishing official test routes in 2010, so nobody can promise the exact route your examiner will choose. These 10 routes are built from the roads around Widnes test centre and approved in the DriveSidekick app, so they cover the junctions, roundabouts and road types examiners use locally.
Are the Widnes test routes really free?
Yes. Every route on this page is free to view, download and drive. There is no sign-up, no payment and no limit on downloads.
How do I put a Widnes 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.
Which GPX apps work with these routes?
The GPX files contain both a route and a track, so they work with TomTom, Garmin, OsmAnd, Organic Maps, Locus, gpx.studio, Komoot and most other sat-nav or mapping apps. We also offer KML, GeoJSON, TCX and CSV.
What is the pass rate at Widnes?
