Currie is where Edinburgh's main driving test centre sits, so learners here get an unmatched familiarity with the test area. Lanark Road West, the roads around Riccarton and Heriot-Watt University and the bypass junctions all feature in typical test routes.
Away from the test routes, quiet residential streets suit early lessons, and rural lanes towards Balerno add national-speed-limit and bend practice. It's a practical place to learn with the test centre only minutes away.
The Currie test centre is on Bryce Road in the village itself, so mock tests here run on the real thing.
