1. By car

Leave the A92 at the Bridge of Don roundabout, follow signs for Cloverhill Road and turn into the business estate opposite the exhibition centre; the DVSA unit is near the end on the right. With no on‑site parking, arrange a safe drop‑off on nearby Claymore Drive and arrive ten minutes early.

2. By public transport

• Bus – First Aberdeen routes 1 and 2 plus Stagecoach X60/X67/X68 all serve stops on Ellon Road; walk eight minutes along Cloverhill Rd.
• Train – Aberdeen station lies four miles south; connect via bus 1 for the last leg.

3. Cycling / walking

National Cycle Network Route 1 skirts Bridge of Don on traffic‑free paths beside the River Don; Sheffield stands sit outside Asda on Jesmond Drive.

1. Haudagain Roundabout (A92/A96)

• Typical slip‑up – picking the wrong spiral lane and being forced off at the wrong exit.
• Quick fix – scan route boards two signs ahead, choose your lane early and hold it all the way round.

2. Parkway 40 → 30 limit by Murcar

• Typical slip‑up – speed drifts over the lower limit as you pass the average‑speed cameras.
• Quick fix – ease off before the signs and let engine braking settle you at 28 mph.

3. Murcar & B999 mini‑roundabouts chain

• Typical slip‑up – treating the two circles as one and failing to give way a second time.
• Quick fix – think “one‑two”: pause, check right again, then roll gently onto the second disc.

1. About Aberdeen North Test Centre from a Learner’s View

The waiting room hides in a red‑brick office on Cloverhill Road, Bridge of Don. With no on‑site car park, you pull away from the kerb beside vans and HGVs—an instant clutch‑control test. The first mini‑roundabout at Denmore Road appears within seconds, and dual‑carriageway speeds on the A90/Parkway follow soon after. Most instructors recommend a warm‑up loop around Murcar roundabout to steady nerves before signing in.

2. What to Expect on the Day

Arrive ten minutes early with your provisional licence. After an eyesight check and a “show me, tell me” question, expect one reversing manoeuvre (often parallel parking on Danestone estate), maybe an emergency stop, and 20 minutes of independent driving. Examiners watch speed discipline where the Parkway drops from 40 mph to 30 near Laurel Drive.

3. After You Pass

Your examiner can upload the pass digitally; the photocard usually lands within two weeks. Consider Pass Plus on the AWPR for long dual‑carriageway confidence, and shop telematics insurance to trim first‑year costs. National stats live on the DVSA site.
