A real PASS or FAIL
Marked the way the real test counts: any serious or dangerous fault fails the drive, and so do more than 15 minors.

Would you pass your driving test today?
Take a practice drive and find out. ClutchUp measures what it can see — your speed, braking, cornering and mirror checks — and marks the drive against the real test's pass rules: a clear PASS or FAIL, with every fault it detected, in the same words the real test uses.
Completely free. No subscriptions, no in-app purchases. Every drive, every verdict, every written debrief and guided route — for learners and instructors.

How a mock test works
Four steps between you and an honest answer.
1
Mount your phone
Pop your phone in the cradle and pick how much it analyses — sensors only, or with mirror checks — before you set off.
2
Drive
A free drive wherever you are, or a guided route planned from your location — always with your supervising driver. Then just drive.
3
It marks like the test
Speed against the limit, braking, cornering and mirror checks before turns — measured, not guessed at, and counted as minor or serious faults.
4
PASS or FAIL
The drive ends in a verdict, scored against the real test's pass rules — then a written debrief of every fault and what to fix next.
Kit
The mount we recommend
ClutchUp needs the phone held still and facing the road — that is what the road check confirms, and in face mode it also needs a clear view of you for mirror checks. Any solid windscreen or vent mount works. This is the one we use.

A mock test on every
practice drive.
Objective, patient, and there every single time you get in the car.
Free drive & Guided route
Practise wherever you already are, or follow a loop planned from your location with the features you want in it.
Mirror-check detection
Approaching junctions and turns — on free drives and guided routes alike — ClutchUp looks for the head movement of a real mirror check, analysed entirely on your phone.
Live speed-limit display
The limit for the road you're on, from open map data, shown live as you drive — and the yardstick your speed is marked against.
Progress to test day
Your pass rate, your most repeated fault and your most serious one — including the ones that end most tests — tracked drive by drive.
Instructor connection
Share a code with your driving instructor and — only once you accept their request — they can follow your drives and debriefs between lessons.
This is the actual app.
Every screen here is a real screenshot of the app — no mockups, no renders, nothing we haven't built.
You choose how much it sees
The camera is optional.
Always.
Before every drive you pick an analysis mode. Sensors-only never opens a camera at all, and your drive is still scored in full. Mirror-check analysis runs on your phone — facial footage is never uploaded, and no audio is ever recorded.
- Pick your mode per drive — nothing is locked in.
- Front-camera analysis happens on-device using Apple's Vision framework.
- Uncertain checks are yours to confirm, from a clip that never leaves your phone.
Sensors only
Motion sensors and GPS. No camera is opened at any point during the drive.
Sensors + mirror checks
Adds brief front-camera checks before turns and junctions, analysed on your phone with Apple's on-device Vision framework. Uncertain moments keep a short, silent clip on your phone for you to judge — deleted once reviewed, never uploaded.
An honest mock test
What ClutchUp marks — and what it can't.
A phone can measure a lot, but not everything an examiner watches. ClutchUp only ever marks what it can actually see, and tells you plainly what it can't.
It marks
- Speed against the limit of the road you're on
- Braking and acceleration — smoothness, harsh stops
- Cornering control
- Hesitation and progress — holding back when it's clear
- Mirror checks before turns and junctions (with the front camera on)
It doesn't mark
- Manoeuvres — reversing, parking, pulling up on the right
- Observation at junctions beyond your mirror checks
- Your judgement of other road users
- Signalling, positioning and eye-only glances
Those need a driving instructor or a supervising driver — which is why ClutchUp is a learning aid, not a replacement for either, and why a ClutchUp PASS is a measure of what it can see, not a promise about your real test. It is not affiliated with the DVSA, and you must always drive with a qualified supervising driver.
For parents & supervising drivers
You're probably in the passenger seat.
Here's what ClutchUp adds.
Most learning happens in private practice between paid lessons — it's the biggest lever on how many lessons they'll need — and those hours are only worth what they teach. ClutchUp gives every supervised drive structure and honest feedback, so the practice you sit through actually moves the needle.
- It supports practice between lessons — it doesn't replace an instructor, and we'll never claim it does.
- It's free — no subscription, no in-app purchases, nothing to cancel.
- Driving instructors can follow their drives between lessons — only with the learner's explicit consent, revocable any time.
What you get, free
Every drive scored and marked PASS or FAIL, plus the written debrief — each fault named, its severity, and where on the route it happened. No subscription, no in-app purchases.
What the app sees
Motion sensors and GPS while a drive is recording. Cameras are optional per drive; mirror-check analysis runs on the phone and facial footage is never uploaded.
What it doesn't do
No location tracking outside recorded drives, no ads, no selling data — and no pretending to be an examiner. Full detail in the privacy policy.
