A Bit More About Inverurie

Your driving test will start with your examiner guiding you out of the industrial estate that Inverurie is situated in. Depending on the time of day your test is at, you might encounter a lot of oncoming traffic. As you progress through Inverurie, you’ll encounter a variety of compact roads, so make sure you’re paying close attention to your road positioning—especially when manoeuvring around parked vehicles.

If you don’t like roundabouts, you’ll want to conquer your fear before you take the test, as there’s a wide range of them scattered around the local area. Due to its close proximity, the A96 will almost definitely show up on your route. Depending on the manoeuvre you’re asked to demonstrate, the examiner will either lead you towards a local car park or a quiet area like Kintore.
