Santarém test centre
Everything for the Santarém test centre, Santarém, Portugal (2005-521) — what to expect on test day and how to practise on the roads around Santarém. SteerClear scores your drive live using your phone's sensors, so you know exactly when you're ready.
Driving exam routes at Santarém
Tests at Santarém use the local roads, junctions and roundabouts around the centre. If you've driven those roads 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 Santarém. A typical one covers about 19.2 km in 30 minutes of driving, taking in around 13 roundabouts.
