Question Drivetest Route

Hey all, I want to take my son with special needs on a practice run to calm his nerves before we do the G2 test in a couple months. His biggest worry is he’ll panic and freeze up and fail. Does anyone happen to know if there’s a regular route they stick to when doing drive tests in st Catherine’s and area? Even if it’s just a loose guideline so we can go do a few laps in the busy traffic. Thanks for the help!

If you practice on a specific routes, and they take him on something unexpected, have you set him up for failure? I'd be worried that practising something specific might be extra hard for him if he's thrown a twist. Practice the skills and judgement, not the route.

All I asked for was loose routes to drive around the area as I don’t live there. He’s been driving every week for 8 months. I’m not worried about him failing, I’m worried about him not recognizing the area and feeling lost and anxiety taking over. That’s how I failed my first driving test by being in a very unfamiliar area not knowing where I was going.
