Crieff driving test centre
Crieff Fire Station, Broich Road, Crieff, Perth and Kinross, PH7 3SB
A swap only works when one of you moves forward and the other moves back, so the date somebody cannot use is worth as much as the date somebody wants. DVSA will exchange the two bookings over the phone, free. What they will not do is put the two of you in touch, and that is the part this page is for. Not ready for your Crieff date? How to postpone it without losing the fee.

Crieff in numbers
DVSA does not publish a separate pass rate for Crieff, which usually means it runs a small number of tests. The swap rules still work exactly the same way here.

Centres you can swap with from Crieff
GOV.UK allows a swap with a learner booked at the same centre as you, at one of your three nearest, or at a centre you first booked at. Three nearest is measured by driving distance avoiding motorways, and DVSA publishes the list. A swap moves both learners, so the condition has to hold from each side, and the centres below are the ones that work in both directions from Crieff. Anywhere else is refused on the call.
| Centre | Distance | Wait, weeks | Pass rate |
|---|---|---|---|
| Perth (Arran Road) | about 20 miles | 11.6 | 48.8% |
| Aberfeldy | about 24 miles | 22.6 | 68.5% |

Driving around Crieff before test day
Nobody can give you the examiner's route. DVSA stopped publishing routes in 2010, and four tests in five are led by a sat nav the examiner sets up, so there is no sequence to learn. The roads are a different matter: which roundabout, which multi-lane junction, where the limit changes. Instructors film those, and watching them is the cheapest practice available.

Swaps at Crieff, month by month
Most people know the month they need rather than the date. Each of these says how much of that month can still be swapped into under the ten working day rule, and which centres a Crieff booking can move to. DVSA releases slots in a rolling 24-week window, so these are the months anybody can be holding a test in.
Three quick questions
One each on the car safety questions, road signs and warning lights: the parts of the test you can learn off the page. Have a guess, then open the answer.
-
Show me, tell me
Tell me: how would you check the brakes are working before a journey?
- Press the pedal hard three times with the engine off
- Look at the brake pads through the wheel
- Check the brake warning light comes on when you brake
- They should not feel spongy or slack, and the car should not pull to one side when you test them as you set off
Show the answer
They should not feel spongy or slack, and the car should not pull to one side when you test them as you set off. Brakes should not feel spongy or slack, are tested as you move off, and the car should not pull to one side.
-
Road signs
What shape are most warning signs?
- A rectangle
- A circle
- A triangle
- An octagon
Show the answer
A triangle. Warning signs are mostly red-bordered triangles, point up.
-
Warning lights
What does a green or blue light on the dashboard tell you?
- There is a fault to check soon
- Something is switched on
- The car is in eco mode
- Stop as soon as it is safe
Show the answer
Something is switched on. Green and blue lights are information: dipped headlights, front fog lights, main beam, indicators.
Swapping at Crieff: questions
Can I swap a test at Crieff for one at another centre?
Only if it is the same centre, one of your three nearest, or a centre you first booked at. A swap moves both learners, so it has to work from each side. From Crieff the list is Perth (Arran Road), Aberfeldy. Anywhere else is refused on the call.
How long is the wait for a driving test at Crieff?
29 weeks. That is the median wait between booking and taking a test for people who sat one at Crieff in September 2026, from DVSA's own monthly figures, so half of them waited longer. The national median that month was 12.4 weeks. 0% of the slots in DVSA's 24-week booking window here were still free to book. A swap sidesteps that queue entirely, because you are moving into a date another learner has already booked.
How long does it take to find a swap at Crieff?
That depends on how many learners hold a slot here and whether any of them want the opposite of what you want. Join the list at the top of this page and we email you when a learner who could swap with you joins. A three-way chain often resolves faster than waiting for a perfect pair.
Does swapping at Crieff cost anything?
No. You exchange slots rather than rebooking, so you keep your original booking reference and payment. Matching here is free, and DVSA does the swap on the phone at no charge.
How much notice do I need?
At least 10 full working days before whichever of the two tests comes first. Monday to Saturday count as working days; Sundays and public holidays do not, so the real deadline falls earlier than the calendar suggests.
Can my instructor arrange it for me?
No. Since 12 May 2026 only the candidate can book or manage their own test, and that applies to instructors too. Yours can sit next to you while you make the call.
Is this the same as a cancellation app for Crieff?
No. A cancellation app scans the booking service for unclaimed appointments, and since 12 May 2026 learners are not allowed to use services that do that. A swap works the other way round: the date you want is already booked by another learner, the two of you agree to exchange, and you make the call yourself.
Your Crieff date is somebody's dream date
Somewhere there is a learner holding the slot you want, who would rather have yours. Join the list and we email you when a learner who could swap with you joins. Free, no card, nothing to pay when it works.
