SteerClear — Driving Test Practice That Actually Works Pass your road test with mock driving tests, real test-center routes, an AI driving coach and sensor-graded feedback — now in 32 countries, with test-specific tools for the US (all 50 states), UK (DVSA), Ireland (RSA), Australia, New Zealand and more. Most learners don't fail their driving test because they can't drive — they fail because they practice the wrong things, in the wrong places, with no real feedback. SteerClear fixes that, built around your state's test. MEET MAC — YOUR AI DRIVING COACH After every drive, Mac tells you what went well, what cost you points and exactly what to fix next — in plain English. Ask Mac anything about your road test, scoring, maneuvers or test-day nerves and get a personalized answer based on your own driving data. DRIVING TEST ROUTES — 800+ TEST CENTERS Thousands of practice routes covering the intersections, turns and roads around your exact test location, with turn-by-turn GPS voice guidance — so nothing surprises you on test day. IN-CAR NAVIGATION — CARPLAY Turn-by-turn guidance on your car's built-in display: clear maneuver prompts, a live speed indicator that warns when you're over the limit, and your route with ETA — plus community routes right on the car screen. MOCK DRIVING TEST A full road test simulation scored to your state's rules, with a real pass-or-fail verdict. DRIVE REPLAY Watch any drive played back on the map with Mac talking you through every key moment — see exactly where you lost points. SENSOR-GRADED DRILLS Your phone's sensors grade your emergency braking, controlled stops, speed control and smooth acceleration after every attempt — real feedback, not guesswork. TEST-READINESS DASHBOARD A live readiness score out of 100, updated after every drive. Track your weakest skill, daily streaks and score trends. 5-POINT DRIVE SCORING Every drive scored on cornering, smoothness, braking, speed and stability. COMMUNITY ROUTES Discover practice routes shared by other learners and instructors near your test location — with their notes and local tips — and share your own. START FREE — TRY IT FIRST - 1 free mock driving test (examiner-style, scored to your state's rules) - 1 free practice route at your local test location (turn-by-turn GPS) - 1 free sensor-graded drill No card needed. PREMIUM — ADVANCED TOOLS - Mac's deep AI coaching and personalized "prescriptions" — targeted routes built around your exact weak spot - Custom Route Builder — drop a pin, set radius, time and difficulty, get a route around your weak spot - Progress Insights — improvement trends, weak areas over time and a forecast of when you'll be test-ready AVAILABLE IN 32 COUNTRIES — BUILT AROUND YOUR LOCAL TEST United States (all 50 states) Ā· United Kingdom (DVSA, plus DVA in Northern Ireland) Ā· Ireland (RSA) Ā· Canada (DriveTest, ICBC, SAAQ and more) Ā· Australia (all states & territories) Ā· New Zealand (NZTA — Restricted and Full license) Ā· Germany (TÜV & DEKRA) Ā· Netherlands (CBR) Ā· France Ā· Italy Ā· Belgium Ā· Austria Ā· Switzerland Ā· Sweden Ā· Norway Ā· Denmark Ā· Finland Ā· Portugal Ā· Estonia Ā· Latvia Ā· Lithuania Ā· Iceland Ā· Luxembourg Ā· Malta Ā· Slovenia Ā· Singapore Ā· Hong Kong Ā· Japan Ā· Taiwan Ā· South Africa (K53) Ā· Jamaica.
