There are two practical test centres in Dumfries. A test centre that conducts driving tests for cars and motorcycles and a test centre for goods vehicles (LGV).
Dumfries Driving Test Centre for cars and motorcycles is located in an area where a diverse amount of roads will be taken on the driving test. Busy town roads that include varied junctions, roundabouts of various types including mini roundabouts that are often located in residential areas and also crossroads. Dual carriageway roads such as the A75 and rural roads are likely.
Rural roads are often difficult due to their often sharp bends and high speeds. The country road driving tutorial offers advice on how best to use such roads. The test examiner will expect a high standard of driving and to take safety as paramount.
Also to be requested is one driving test manoeuvre and a 1 in 3 chance of the emergency stop procedure. Good tips for the driving test at Dumfries is to check if the test centre provides weekend Saturday driving tests.
Traffic is often reduced over the weekends making the test easier. It’s also worth checking the driving test availability times between 10am and 3pm. Booking the driving test within this time periods will miss out on any rush hour. By browsing the Dumfries driving test routes section, you will gain a good understanding on the various road types and traffic systems that the examiner will take you on.
