Dunedin driver licensing agent
Everything for the Dunedin driver licensing agent, Otago — what to expect on test day and how to practise the practical driving test routes examiners use around Dunedin. SteerClear scores your drive live using your phone's sensors, so you know exactly when you're ready.
practical driving test routes at Dunedin
Examiners reuse the same set of local roads, junctions and roundabouts on most tests at Dunedin. If you've driven those routes before the day, the tricky priorities and speed-limit changes won't surprise you — and you can focus on technique rather than navigation.
SteerClear builds practice routes on that road network and scores you live against the fault categories examiners actually grade: observation at junctions, mirror use, steering control, lane discipline, and response to traffic signals. Works with any car — just bring a qualified driver.
SteerClear has 10 practice routes that start and finish at Dunedin. A typical one covers about 12.7 km in 28 minutes of driving, taking in around 3 roundabouts.

Waka Kotahi NZTA does not publish practical driving test routes and examiners choose on the day, so these are practice routes on the same local road network — not a copy of any examiner's sheet. Cover the roads above and little on test day should be new to you.
