Are Drivest practice routes official driving test routes?

No. Drivest routes are reconstructed or generated for learning support only and must not be described as official driving test routes.

How should I use practice routes around a test centre?

Use them for local familiarity, repetition, and route planning support. Always follow live road signs, markings, traffic laws, and any instructor or examiner instruction.

Why is a centre shown on the public Drivest site?

Public centre pages are shown only when the published dataset has enough route depth to make local practice useful.

Can I report a bad or missing route?

Yes. Practice users can report stale information, closures, unsafe guidance, or impossible turns, and can also flag a missing centre or request another route where coverage is incomplete.

Important route positioning

Regional hub pages still follow the same legal positioning as centre-detail pages.

Routes are reconstructed or generated for learning support and are not official driving test routes.
Learners must always follow live road signs, markings, instructions, and traffic law.
Navigation, route, and parking outputs remain advisory only and can be incomplete or delayed.
