Rothesay – Rural Roads

Due to the location of Rothesay Practical Test Centre, you should expect a high level of rural country lane driving. These country lanes can be hazardous, not just for the learner driver, but for all drivers. This is mainly due to the high-speed limits combined with the sharp unpredictable bends. There are also hidden hazards such as horse riders, potholes, and uneven road surface and farm machinery. The learner driver needs to prove to the examiner that they have the ability to able to assess the correct speed required for these roads.

Rothesay – Small Town and Villages

Villages and small-town driving will test your ability at many road systems such as crossroads, some of which may be unmarked. Roundabouts and junctions of various sorts will also be testing. The small towns and villages are used to carry out one of the possible four reverse manoeuvers. There is a possibility that the examiner may take you into a supermarket car park to carry out the reverse bay park exercise. One in every three test candidates will be required to carry out the emergency stop procedure. For safety reasons, the examiner will pre-warn you of this.

Rothesay – Routes

Knowing each and every driving test route for Rothesay is not necessary. However, a few roads surrounding the driving test centre can make all the difference. Many learner drivers who fail their driving test at Rothesay, do so in the first few minutes. This may be due to nerves which will be helped by familiar with the first few roads.

Rothesay – Winter Driving

During the winter months, many practical tests at Rothesay are cancelled due to severe weather conditions. Therefore, it would be advisable to consider avoid booking an early morning driving test. This will allow for the temperature to rise and the roads to get clearer. However, if the wet condition does not improve, at least allow time for the DVSA to contact you and pre-warn you that the test is to be cancelled. This way you do not have a wasted journey to the driving test centre.
