road test routes at Mariposa
Tests at Mariposa 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 โ 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 โ just bring a qualified driver.
