Here is the sort of driving the local routes involve, and what we make sure you have covered before test day. ## Driving out of Leeds (Harehills) What sets Leeds (Harehills) apart from other centres in Yorkshire & the North East is the mix of dense residential, bus lanes and inner ring road on its routes. It is a combination you cannot rehearse on one street, which is why the sessions immediately before the test are worked around the centre itself. Busy, tight streets with constant hazards. Leeds (Harehills) serves learners in and around Leeds, and it is the centre most of our Leeds intensive course students are booked into. If you are still choosing where to sit the test, it is worth practising the specific road types above rather than picking a centre on pass-rate rumours alone. The aim is that nothing on the Leeds (Harehills) drive is the first time you have seen it. ## Roads you are likely to meet Dense residential Bus lanes Inner ring road - Busy, tight streets with constant hazards. Test routes are no longer published by the DVSA, and examiners vary them. Treat this as a guide to the local road types rather than a route list. Book your test and check availability on [GOV.UK](https://www.gov.uk/book-driving-test). ## Where marks are lost at Leeds (Harehills) Parked cars and passing gaps Leave a door's width past parked cars, and give way early enough that the oncoming driver can see you have decided. Restricted lanes and signage Read the operating times on the plate before committing. Straying into a live bus, cycle or tram lane is marked as a serious fault. Committing to a lane in good time Entering a box junction without a clear exit is a fault regardless of how the lights change afterwards. ## How we prepare you for this centre Local route practice The last hours of your course are spent on dense residential and bus lanes near the centre, because that is what the examiner will put you on. One rehearsal, examiner-style Marked the way an examiner marks it, on a Leeds route, with a written debrief of every fault. All four manoeuvres Every manoeuvre practised with traffic present, because that is the version that appears on the day. Test-day rehearsal Licence and theory certificate checked, show me / tell me covered, and the sat-nav section practised before the day. ## Courses that suit test-centre prep 10 hours Test booked, need polishing £612.28 [Course details](/courses/10-hour-course) 15 hours Manoeuvres letting you down £918.41 [Course details](/courses/15-hour-course) 20 hours Rusty after a break £1,224.55 [Course details](/courses/20-hour-course) ## Leeds (Harehills) test centre FAQs ### What are the test routes like at Leeds (Harehills)?
