Faster roads up to 100 km/h
Some Gorey routes reach 80 and 100 km/h roads. Build up to a safe speed that suits the road: hesitancy and holding back are marked too.
Read the guide -
STOP signs: a full stop every time
23 STOP signs across the routes. Rolling through one is a common fault; stop at the line, then creep and look.
-
Observation before every move
Mirrors, then signal, then a look over your shoulder where needed. Make the checks clear enough for the tester to see.

Where the manoeuvres happen
Turas marks the likely spot for each manoeuvre on every route: quiet side roads, straight stretches and hills. Across the Gorey routes:
- Reverse around a corner 7 likely spots
- Turnabout 12 likely spots
- Hill start 8 likely spots
How Turas works at Gorey
- Pick Gorey. Every route shows its length, where it came from, and the likely manoeuvre spots.
- Press Go. The voice calls each turn in time, like a sat nav, and lowers your music while it speaks.
- Hear the hard parts first. Roundabout lanes, STOP signs, speed changes and yellow boxes are called out before you reach them.
- Miss a turn? It brings you back onto the route. Routes are saved for offline use.
Works with CarPlay. Mount your phone; never hold it while driving.
Why not a free route list or a video?
- A list or a video shows one drive once. Turas talks you through every turn while you drive it yourself.
- It tells you the lane for each roundabout exit before you reach it.
- It marks the likely spot for each manoeuvre, and brings you back if you miss a turn.
- Routes are saved on your phone, so the voice keeps working without signal.
How the routes are made
4 of the 8 Gorey routes were recorded on real driving tests; the rest are practice routes on the same roads. Each is matched to the OpenStreetMap road network, and learners' shared drives are checked every week for changes. Last updated 30 October 2026. The tester still chooses the route on the day.
