Getting ready for a test at Newton Stewart
The no traffic lights and 2 roundabouts within 2 km are both fewer than at 9 in 10 test centres. You judge most gaps yourself. Expect more give way lines. Limits go up to 60 mph, and driving too slowly is marked too. 65.8% passed here in 2025-26, 15.8 points above the GB average, the 25th highest of 316 centres.
A car test lasts around 35 minutes, with a show me and a tell me question and a pull up on the left. The examiner picks the roads on the day, so practise the junctions, not one route.

Junction observation on your driving test
Why poor observation at junctions is the most common reason people fail, and how to emerge safely without hesitating.
How many driving faults fail you?
The pass mark explained: up to 15 driving faults and no serious or dangerous faults, and why 15 is a limit, not a target.
