A Bit More About Isle of Skye Broadford

During your driving test, your examiner will use everything at their disposal to make sure that you’re ready to become a fully qualified driver. The area around the Isle of Skye Broadford test centre is chock full of hotels, shops and other local businesses, so it will be busy regardless of when you take your test. This means that you’ll need to keep making your observations and checking your blindspots!

There are a few local car parks scattered around the area, so your examiner might have you demonstrate one of the driving test manoeuvres in the Broadford area. This depends entirely on how busy it is and which manoeuvre you’re being asked to demonstrate—if you have to pull up on the right, for example, they’ll pick a residential area instead.

The A87 runs through Broadford, so it’s highly likely that it will crop up on your test route. You might be guided up towards Kyleakin, or even further across to Kyle of Lochalsh. Alternatively, the examiner might direct you onto the B8083 towards Torrin.

What To Expect On The Day

Congratulations! You’re almost at the finish line now! All you have to do is impress the examiner and make your way through a forty-minute driving test. Sounds like a piece of cake, huh?

There’s not much for you to do in terms of preparation on your big day. You just need to get to the test centre ten minutes early with your provisional. After parking up, the examiner will confirm your identity by checking your provisional and ask you to sign a form.

Once that’s out of the way, your driving test will proceed with:

• An eyesight test, where you’ll need to read a number plate from a distance of 20 metres
• Two “show me, tell me” questions covering vehicle safety and maintenance
• Twenty minutes of general driving, where you’ll be guided by the examiner, and will also need to perform one of the following manoeuvres:
  • Parallel parking
  • Bay parking
  • Pulling up on the right
• Twenty minutes of independent driving, during which you’ll either follow sat nav directions or sign posts to reach a set destination
