Stornoway Driving Test Centre

There are two practical driving test centres in Stornoway, a test centre that conducts tests for cars and motorcycles, and a test centre for large vehicles (LGV).

Stornoway Driving Test Centre for cars is situated around rural roads where bends may be difficult to navigate due to oncoming vehicles. Being the UK’s most hazardous roads, the country road driving tutorial offers advice to learner and novice drivers for rural roads. Small village roads may have narrow and difficult areas which is a common area to fail driving test.

High speed ‘A’ roads are also present such as the A858 and A859 which are likely to be taken on the driving test from Stornoway. Expect a single test manoeuvre to be requested (occasionally two manoeuvres if time permits), 10 minutes of independent driving and the emergency stop procedure more likely in rural test centre areas.
