Areas & test routes

From your door, all over Lincoln.

We pick up and drop off anywhere in LN1 to LN6: home, school, college or work, and a different place each time if that helps. Lessons build up to the roads used for tests at the Lincoln test centre.

Check your postcode

The first half is enough, like LN5 or LN6 9.

Where we teach

Six postcode districts, six instructors.

Choose a district to see the villages in it, who teaches there and their next free lesson.

Test routes

The roads your test will use, practised before the day.

Examiners pick a different route every time, so we don’t teach routes by heart. We teach the kinds of road Lincoln tests use, in this order.

  1. Estates and quiet roads

    Birchwood and Hartsholme. Moving off, stopping, junctions and your first manoeuvres where there’s room to think.

    • Clutch control
    • T-junctions
    • Bay parking

  2. Uphill Lincoln

    The streets up to the old town. Hill starts, narrow roads with parked cars on both sides, and judging when to give way.

    • Hill starts
    • Meeting traffic
    • Pedestrian crossings

  3. Ring roads and roundabouts

    Multi-lane roundabouts on the ring roads, lane choice from the signs, and keeping up with traffic without rushing.

    • Lane discipline
    • Signals
    • Following a sat nav

  4. Country roads and the bypass

    National speed limit roads out towards Skellingthorpe, then joining and leaving the dual carriageway at up to 70 mph.

    • Bends
    • Slip roads
    • Overtaking cyclists

Outside our area?

Pupils from Market Rasen, Grantham and Woodhall Spa can take an intensive course with pick-up by arrangement, or meet their instructor at our office on Carholme Road, which is a short walk from the bus and rail stations.
