Wester Hailes is a planned 1960s–70s estate with a distinctive road layout: long distributor roads, cul-de-sacs and roundabouts. Wester Hailes Road is a busy A-road, so learners get regular bus-stop, signal and lane-discipline practice.
The area is close to the Calder junction and city bypass, and the Currie test centre is just along the A70. The mixture of wide estate roads and fast connectors means a lot of different driving in a short distance.
Currie is the closest test centre, so lessons here overlap heavily with test routes.
Learners in Wester Hailes usually take their test at Currie. Here is how it compares on DVSA's latest published figures:
Pass rate: car tests, April 2025 to March 2026. Median wait: September 2026. Source: DVSA (DRT122A, DRT122F), Open Government Licence v3.0. How to read these figures →
