Male candidates recorded 35.8 percent and female candidates 36.8 percent at this centre, figures that reflect a similar pattern locally (Data source: DVSA, 2024-2025).

Local Driving Tips
Start lessons on quiet village streets to build clutch and steering confidence before tackling busier approaches into Inverness. Practise hill starts and tight turns; the village has narrow lanes that mirror many local junctions. Add sessions that simulate Longman Drive test routes, including lane discipline and observation at industrial estate junctions. Watch for sudden weather changes, especially rain and mist, and practise braking distances. Get comfortable with roundabout approach speeds, lane choice, and signalling when you move onto busier A-roads.
