Edinburgh Driving Test Centre

There are two practical driving test centres in Edinburgh. One situated at Musselburgh and the other at Currie. Both test centres will involve as many varied road types as possible integrated into the test routes.

Expect busy town roads where the testing examiner will require your safe and knowledgeable demonstration at various roundabouts, from normal roundabouts to small mini roundabouts typically located in residential streets. Junctions and crossroads featuring heavily and possibly one-way-systems. Busy town road also may lead into quieter rural roads. Rural roads represent a hazard due to their potential high speeds and sharp corners.

The country road driving tutorial assists all drivers for the preferable technique on navigating such roads. High speed ‘A’ roads such as the A720 will likely be included in the practical test. At least one driving test manoeuvre will be required and although not every test involves the emergency stop, there is a good chance it will be requested. 20 minutes of the driving test will be designated to the independent driving.
