road test routes at Charleston
Examiners reuse the same set of local roads, junctions and roundabouts on most tests at Charleston. 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 Charleston. A typical one covers about 14.4 miles in 32 minutes of driving.

DMV does not publish road 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.
