There are many residential pockets in this part of Edinburgh that are suitable for practising manoeuvres between driving lessons – outwith peak hours some of the quieter streets in residential areas like Blackhall, Davidson’s Mains and Silverknowes are particularly good for getting experience with basic car controls, reversing, emergency stops, and other exercises where you don’t want to have to contend with too many other road users.
One particular recommendation from our driving instructors is Marine Drive, in Davidson’s Mains – this location is really very good for absolute beginners to start driving for the first time, because of the absence of other road users.
