Test centre address: Unit F11, St Hilda's Business Centre, The Ropery (off Green Lane), Whitby, North Yorkshire YO22 4ET
Whitby's driving test centre is at St Hilda's Business Centre on The Ropery, at the Green Lane corner on the west bank of the Esk, south of the town centre. It's a car only centre, and learners come from Whitby, Sleights, Robin Hood's Bay, Staithes, Hinderwell and Loftus.
It's one of the smaller centres, with 557 car tests taken there in a year, and one of the better ones to pass at: 56.7%, above the 50% across Great Britain.
The wait is shorter than at most centres, about 18 weeks booking on your own. Scarborough is about 23 miles away and Malton about 29.
How long is the wait at Whitby driving test centre?
If you book at Whitby on your own, the first week with a good choice of free dates is 18 weeks away. That's shorter than at most test centres, where it's around 23.4 weeks.
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.
