Here is the sort of driving the local routes involve, and what we make sure you have covered before test day. ## Driving out of Scunthorpe What sets Scunthorpe apart from other centres in Yorkshire & the North East is the mix of one-way gyratory, loading bays and delivery traffic and school-run streets 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. Bus lane timings and cycle lanes both feature; check the signage rather than following the car in front. At least one manoeuvre is usually set on a narrow residential street with traffic passing. If your lessons have been in a different part of North Lincolnshire, plan at least a couple of sessions on these roads before the test. Scunthorpe draws candidates from across North Lincolnshire, so a good share of learners arrive having practised somewhere with a different road mix. Where that shows up is in the first five minutes of the drive, which is exactly where a nervous start costs marks. Test day should be the least interesting drive of your course. Everything above is how that happens. ## Roads you are likely to meet One-way gyratory Loading bays and delivery traffic School-run streets - Bus lane timings and cycle lanes both feature; check the signage rather than following the car in front. - At least one manoeuvre is usually set on a narrow residential street with traffic passing. - If your lessons have been in a different part of North Lincolnshire, plan at least a couple of sessions on these roads before the test. 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 Scunthorpe 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 Time on the real roads We plan the final sessions around Scunthorpe itself, so the one-way gyratory you meet on test day are ones you have already driven.
