Tips for Passing at Orkney

Expect narrow country roads and some rural driving conditions in Orkney. Take time to practice roundabouts and hill starts, as these are common in the area. Weather can change quickly, so be prepared for rain or wind, especially during winter months. Try to book your test during daylight hours for better visibility. Remember to check for local signs and rural road markings, which can differ from mainland standards.
