Practical Test Centres Near Bonnyrigg

Bonnyrigg learners typically book their practical at Edinburgh (Musselburgh), around five miles north along the A7 corridor. The pass rate sits a touch below the national average, reflecting busier roads and more complex junctions in the area. Routes often take in a mix of residential streets, A-road roundabouts, and sections of dual carriageway, so most lesson plans focus on building confidence across those different conditions.

Edinburgh (Currie) is the second option at roughly eight miles west, where the pass rate climbs above fifty per cent and routes tend to favour the quieter western suburbs. Haddington is around fourteen miles north-east and posts the highest pass rate of the three, though the extra distance means most local learners only consider it when Musselburgh and Currie slots are hard to find.
