Residential Areas

Neighbourhoods like St Thomas and Heavitree will likely feature, and you'll encounter narrow streets, parked cars, and pedestrian crossings. These will test your ability to drive cautiously and maintain control at lower speeds.

Roundabouts

Exeter features numerous roundabouts, such as those at Exe Bridges and Countess Wear where you will need to display good lane discipline, effective signaling, and the ability to make quick, safe decisions.

Major Roads

Roads such as the A379 and the A376 involve higher speed limits and multiple lanes, where you'll need to demonstrate your ability to handle fast-moving traffic, perform safe lane changes, and merge effectively.

Suburban and Rural Roads

The outskirts of Exeter, including areas near Alphington and Pinhoe can be narrower and more winding, requiring precise handling and heightened awareness of potential hazards such as cyclists.

Required Test Manoeuvres

Practice your required manoeuvres more confidently when you know the actual routes you will be taking. You will be asked to carry out any of the following during your assessment:

  • Parallel Parking: You'll need to park between two vehicles along the side of the road, showcasing both precision and control. Often tested in residential areas such as those around Heavitree and St Leonard’s.

  • Reversing Around a Corner: Maintaining control and accuracy while continuously checking for pedestrians and other traffic, this could be assessed in quieter streets such as near Pinhoe.

  • Pulling Up on the Right: Pull up on the right-hand side of the road, reverse for a short distance, and then rejoin the traffic safely. This is often tested on quieter roads, such as those near St Thomas.

  • Emergency Stop: You'll need to stop the car promptly and safely on command. This could be tested on various roads, possibly in less busy areas like Cowick Lane.
