Key facts
- Crieff's pass rate was 66.1% in 2024/25 from 121 tests, 16.1 points above the national average of 50.0%.
- Since 2018/19 the pass rate has fallen by 6.3 points, from 72.4% to 66.1%.
- On waiting times, learners who took a test in August 2026 had waited a median of 31.4 weeks since booking (longer than the national median of 11.9 weeks); the first week with 10% or more of slots still free was 24 weeks ahead.
- A year earlier (August 2025) the median wait was 15.6 weeks, so waits have grown by about 15.8 weeks.
- 80% of the standard slots in the booking window were still unbooked in August 2026, which usually means a cancellation or new date is realistic here.
The wait at Crieff has almost tripled. Learners tested in July 2026 had waited a median of 31.4 weeks, against 11.9 weeks a year earlier and a national median of 11.9 now — an increase of 19.5 weeks in twelve months, and one of the worst in the country. The pass rate is the consolation: 66.1 per cent in 2024/25 from 121 tests, 16.1 points above the national average, down 6.3 points from 72.4 in 2018/19. The drive is a town one. Seventy-five per cent of the distance on the practice loops on this page is at 30 mph, and there are 8 schools and six signalled crossings inside a very small area.

The same access also opens the four test manoeuvres and eight roundabout scenarios: the two things a route drive cannot teach you.
Three quarters of the distance is at 30 mph, 22 per cent at 60 and 3 per cent at 40. That makes this a town test with a short run into the countryside, and everything demanding about it happens on the streets rather than on the open road.
Pedestrians are the theme. There are 8 schools in the area and six signalled crossings across 41.3 kilometres — an unusually high count for a town this size, and it means you will be stopping for people, moving off again and stopping shortly afterwards. Anticipating a crossing that is about to change, rather than reacting to it late, is what separates a comfortable drive from a nervous one here.
There is almost no other furniture to lean on: one give-way junction, two mini-roundabouts, no traffic signals at all and no named roundabouts. Priorities are mostly settled by the layout and by who is already there, so you have to read each junction on its own terms.
The turning is busy for the distances involved. A 6.5 kilometre loop asks for ten right turns and eight left, a 7.1 kilometre loop asks for eight and 11, and a 9.9 kilometre loop asks for nine and ten. That is a junction every few hundred metres on streets narrow enough that parked cars decide the order of things.
Broich Road, King Street, Commissioner Street, Gallowhill, Balloch Road, Turretbank Road, Laggan Road, Highland Road, Duchlage Road, South Crieff Road and Alichmore Lane carry most of the driving, along with Crieff Bridge and, on the loops, Muthill Road, Ferntower Road, North Bridge Street and Sauchie Road. There are no level crossings and no dual carriageway.

Test day at Crieff
Tests are conducted from Crieff Fire Station on Broich Road, PH7 3SB. One thing to check before you book: GOV.UK states that you cannot access this test centre if you use a wheelchair. If that affects you, ring DVSA and ask what they can arrange instead.
Car tests only. There is no railway station in the town, and parking is not published for the site. A fire station needs its doors and its approach clear at all times, so leave the car on a nearby street rather than on the forecourt and walk the last part.
The wait was a median of 31.4 weeks for tests taken in July 2026, nearly three times the national median of 11.9, and a year earlier the same figure was 11.9 — about 19.5 weeks have been added in a year. The first week with a tenth of its slots still free was 24 weeks ahead. Take what you are offered and keep watching for cancellations.
Perth (Arran Road) is 24.4 kilometres away, waiting 12.9 weeks — far sooner, but passing 48.8 per cent against Crieff's 66.1. Aberfeldy is 27.8 kilometres at 68.5 per cent and 20.3 weeks. Callander is 26.9 kilometres at 49.9 per cent and 26.9 weeks. Booking and cancelling is on GOV.UK only.
