[Talk-GB] Driving Test routes

I know there are people out there with time on their hands, just itching to find more uses for OSM. We've bus route maps, cycling route maps, and even in the West Midlands a gritting routes map. Today I stumbled across the fact that driving test routes are on the DSA website in a text format without any worry about them being derived from OS data that hasn't been released. 

http://www.dsa.gov.uk/AtoZservices_Bannered.asp?Cat=-1&TestType=car&TypeID=17

Then pick a centre and there should be download links on the right with PDFs describing the routes in text. 

Of course, the first debate is about whether we can use these. The website displays a Crown Copyright message, but the PDFs don't seem to display any terms/licence/copyright information on them. 

And once that debate's out of the way, anyone got time to make an Open Driving Test Routes map?
