Route 2013 covers 16.0 miles in about 53 minutes as a single stage, leaving Stranraer for the coastal village of Portpatrick before returning, with limits from 20 to 60 mph. It is the longest route by time at this test centre, yet its three left turns and four right turns mean less junction work than the town routes here.

Watch Out For

• Long 60 mph rural stretches where bends and farm entrances cut forward vision.
• A marked pedestrian crossing on the way out of town.
• One roundabout, where you give way to the right and signal left on exit.

Route Features

• Main Street in Portpatrick, a narrow village street with parked cars and tight passing places.
• The 20 mph town centre section around Market Street at the end of the drive.

Test Manoeuvres

• A pull up on the left is set in the town streets, so choose a spot clear of junctions and driveways.

Key Tips

• Hold a proper speed on the 60 mph sections, since hesitation on open road costs marks.
• Watch the limit drop to 30 and then 20 mph on the return into Stranraer.
