Livingston is famous among learners for its roundabouts. As a 1960s new town, it's built around a grid of dual carriageways and a great many roundabouts, giving unmatched practice in lane choice, signalling and judging gaps.
It's also home to a driving test centre at Houston Industrial Estate, so mock tests can run on real routes. The M8 and A71 are close for faster driving, and the quieter estates of Murieston and Deer Park suit first lessons.
The Livingston test centre is at Houston Industrial Estate, so lessons often run on the real thing.
