Rural Area

Located in a rural area you will find Dunoon centre. Due to its location expect a deal with high-speed roads where bends will make it difficult to navigate. Many learner drivers struggled to assess the correct speed at which you take these bends. The golden rule here is to drive at a speed so that you can stop within the distance you can see to be clear.

Small Villages

Small villages will form part of the driving test. When leaving a high-speed country lane and entering a small village, it is vital to give a check on your speedometer. Many of these small villages have narrow roads, some with parked cars on both sides. Be prepared to give way to oncoming vehicles.

A road such as the A815 main part of the driving test. When joining such a road, it is vital that you do not also traffic on the main road to slow down, swerve or to stop.

Independent Drive

The drive from Dunoon driving test centre last approximately 40 to 25 minutes. During this time, the examiner will ask you to do minutes of independent drive. This may involve following directions from a satnav or it could involve following road signs. Many learner drivers worry unnecessarily about this section of the test.

If you were to miss your turning or even end up going the wrong way, you would not fail the test. This is provided that you continue to drive in a safe manner.

Pass Rate at Dunoon Driving Test Centre

Dunoon has a very high pass rates, miles higher than the majority of driving test centres. However very few driving tests are conducted here on a monthly basis, therefore pass rates may not be a reliable gauge of how easy the test is. During a 6 month period, 112 pupils attempted their driving test here, out of which 76 of them passed. Giving the test centre a pass rate of 68%.

However, the main reason for this high pass rate could be the low sample size of data, as not enough people take a driving test here,  meaning we can not reliably calculate a pass rate.
