Nearest Test Centres For Wishaw Learners

Most people taking driving lessons in Wishaw end up testing at one of these three centres:

Test Centre	Distance from Wishaw	Pass Rate
Hamilton	approx. 3.5 miles north	44.2%
Motherwell	approx. 2.8 miles north-east	42.7%
Lanark	approx. 10 miles south-west	41.1%

Hamilton is the go-to for most Wishaw learners. It is the closest, and the test routes stick to suburban roads you will already know from your lessons. Motherwell has a slightly lower pass rate. However, its routes contain more residential streets, which some learners find to be less stressful. When Hamilton is completely booked, Motherwell is the next driving school most instructors suggest. Lanark is further out but worth considering if you prefer quieter roads and a calmer test atmosphere.

For the theory test, the Hamilton town center is your best option. It is simple to get to by train or bus from Wishaw.

Ahmar taught my daughter having had a bad experience with a previous instructor. She said he was a patient and understanding instructor who made her feel very comfortable and was never intimidating.
