Ballachulish Driving Test Routes

Key Test Route Highlights

Frequent Use of the A82 with Complex Exits

The A82 features heavily, with multiple entry and exit points, including slip roads and roundabouts. Be prepared for faster-moving traffic and clear lane discipline when joining, exiting, or navigating turns off the main road.

Car Park Manoeuvres Through a Hotel and Visitor Centre

Both routes include unique challenges like driving through a hotel car park and navigating around the visitor centre. Expect tight turns, changing priorities, and pedestrians—this is a good opportunity to show control and awareness.

Narrow Residential Loops in East and West Laroch

Expect residential detours with lots of turns, including sequences like left-left-right in East or West Laroch. Watch for oncoming vehicles on narrow roads and be ready for junctions with limited visibility, especially after crossing bridges.

Bridge Crossings and Sudden Priority Changes

The route includes several bridge crossings with sharp EOR (end of road) turns immediately after. These locations demand full observation, especially when the view is restricted. Make sure you’re checking both directions and emerging safely.
