South Queensferry sits under the Forth bridges and gives learners a distinctive blend of old-town and modern driving. The High Street and the roads down to the Hawes Pier are narrow, busy with visitors and often parked-up, while the newer Echline and Dalmeny areas have wider, simpler layouts.
The A90 and the road network around the Queensferry Crossing provide fast dual-carriageway and slip-road practice, and the Kirkliston Road and the roads towards Dalmeny add rural-edge driving with speed-limit changes. Tourist traffic in summer gives real hazard-awareness practice.
Most South Queensferry learners test at Currie via the A90 and bypass; Dunfermline is across the Forth.
Learners in South Queensferry usually take their test at Currie and Dunfermline. Here is how they compare on DVSA's latest published figures:
