Built for UK roads
Road Mode is designed from the ground up for the UK driving test system — not adapted from another country's model.
DVSA-aligned syllabus
Our syllabus is built from DVSA standards, experienced instructor input, and former examiner insight. It covers everything from basic car controls to independent driving and test manoeuvres.
Independent instructors
Road Mode is built for independent ADIs, not franchise chains. You set your own prices, manage your own diary, and run your business your way.
Your data, protected
Fully compliant with UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018. Your data is encrypted, stored securely, and never sold to third parties.
Granular progress tracking
185 individual skills across 23 categories. Not a flat checklist — a detailed breakdown from junctions and roundabouts to emergency stops and night driving.
