Ballachulish – Country Roads

There are several country roads which surround Ballachulish driving test centre. These country roads, which form part of the driving test, are extremely hazardous. This is due to the high speeds combined with harsh corners. Plenty of practice is required on these types of roads in order for you to be able to assess the safe speed to approach these hazards. Busy A roads such as the A8 to and the A828 may also be used on the driving test.

When you book your last-minute intensive driving lessons, you will have the choice of learning in an automatic or a manual car. Last year alone, there were over 1.7 million driving tests conducted. Out of these, only about 30% were taken in an automatic car.

Manual or Automatic Intensive Driving Lessons

It’s easier to pass your driving test in a week by taking an automatic car compared to a manual. This is because you don’t have the extra task of changing gears, especially on approach to junctions such as roundabouts. This, in turn, means that you will have more time to focus on the speed and observations on the approach to such junctions. Once you’ve passed your driving test in an automatic, you will be restricted to driving only automatics. However, you are most welcome to upgrade to a manual license by retaking and passing another test.
