Test centre address: Kyle of Lochalsh Fire Station, Stoney Road, Kyle of Lochalsh, Ross-shire IV40 8BP
Kyle of Lochalsh's driving tests run from the fire station on Stoney Road, known locally as Fire Station Road. It's one of the smallest centres in the country, and learners come from Kyle, Kyleakin, Plockton, Dornie, Balmacara, Glenelg, Lochcarron and Shiel Bridge.
Only 136 car tests were taken there in a year, and it's one of the better centres to pass at: 57.4%, above the 50% across Great Britain.
Skye's centres at Broadford and Portree are across the bridge, and Mallaig is about 19 miles away as the crow flies.
How long is the wait at Kyle driving test centre?
If you book at Kyle on your own, the first week with a good choice of free dates is 24+ weeks away. That's about the same as most test centres.
You don't have to wait that out or keep checking yourself. We usually find learners an earlier test date within 1 to 2 weeks of signing up, and often within a few days. The test itself may still be a few weeks away, but it's earlier than the date you'd get booking on your own.
See how that compares with the wait at every test centre in the country.
