Currie driving test: common mistakes and tips

Currie combines residential roads, faster sections and roads where judgement matters more than memorising a route.

Driving lesson advice from Be A Good Driver in West Edinburgh

You cannot prepare for a driving test at Currie by memorising a route alone. Practise reading unfamiliar junctions, choosing an appropriate speed and making safe decisions when traffic or road conditions change.

1

Observation

Take enough time at junctions and repeat checks if circumstances change.

2

Speed choice

Make safe progress without rushing. Adjust speed early for bends, hazards and changing limits.

3

Adequate clearance and meeting traffic

Leave enough clearance from parked vehicles and plan ahead when meeting oncoming traffic, giving way where needed without creating unnecessary stand-offs.

4

Road and lane positioning

Use bus lanes when they are not in operation. Identify the correct lane when approaching junctions and follow the lane and road markings as you move through junctions and around roundabouts.
