Northampton Test Routes
Northampton's DVSA test centre sits on Weedon Road, close to Sixfields. Routes from here mix fast dual carriageways (the A45 and Weedon Road itself) with tight residential estates around St James, Duston and Far Cotton. Our instructors drive these roads every week.

These are practice routes, not official DVSA routes. The DVSA randomises and updates test routes, so use these to build familiarity and confidence — never to memorise a fixed run. Your instructor will tell you when you're genuinely test-ready.
