Oxgangs and Fairmilehead sit on the south edge of the city below the Pentland Hills, and the driving mixes suburban estate roads with fast A-road sections. Oxgangs Road and the Fairmilehead crossroads (A702) are busy, giving real junction and traffic-signal practice.
Heading towards the Braid Hills, Swanston and Hillend brings steeper roads, bends and speed-limit changes, and the Edinburgh bypass (A720) is a few minutes away for dual-carriageway driving. You get a broader range of road types than most city-centre areas offer.
Currie is the nearest and most used test centre from here, reached by the bypass.
Learners in Oxgangs & Fairmilehead usually take their test at Currie. Here is how it compares on DVSA's latest published figures:
