1. By car

From the A40 Monmouth Road follow signs for the railway station, then swing onto Station Road; the test‑centre office sits beside the recycling depot. Limited candidate bays—consider dropping off in the station short‑stay and meet on foot.

2. By public transport

• Bus – Stagecoach South Wales route 43 (Brecon ↔ Abergavenny) stops at the nearby bus station; walk five minutes via Cross Street.
• Train – Abergavenny station is two‑minutes’ walk, with hourly Transport for Wales services to Cardiff and Hereford.

3. Cycling / walking

NCN Route 42 (Lon Las Cymru) drops into Abergavenny via Llanfoist Bridge—secure stands sit on Platform 1.

1. Hardwick Roundabout (A40/A465)

• Typical slip‑up – straying across the spiral and cutting up merging A465 traffic.
• Quick fix – follow the lane arrow, mirror‑signal, and exit in the lane you entered.

2. A40 temporary 50 mph works zone

• Typical slip‑up – drifting back to 60 mph within the roadworks and triggering cameras.
• Quick fix – lock cruise at 48 mph and maintain safe spacing through the cones.

3. Monmouth Road 20 mph town core

• Typical slip‑up – creeping above 20 mph past parked cars and schools.
• Quick fix – stick to 3rd gear, cover the brake and keep a metre from the doors.

1. About Abergavenny Test Centre from a Learner’s View

Tucked behind the railway on Station Road, the centre has five learner bays, so bay parking may appear before you even leave the site. Pulling out, you negotiate the one‑way by the station then filter onto the A40—an early mirror‑signal‑manoeuvre test. A quick lap round Castle Meadows car park settles nerves.

2. What to Expect on the Day

Be there ten minutes early. After the eyesight check and a “show me, tell me” question, you’ll perform a reversing manoeuvre, maybe an emergency stop, and 20 minutes of independent driving via sat‑nav or signs. Watch clutch control on the climb up Monmouth Road and speed on the A465 dual carriageway.

3. After You Pass

Your examiner can upload the result; expect the photocard within a fortnight. Pass Plus on the M4 improves motorway confidence, and black‑box cover can slice premiums.
