1. By car

From the A92 take the Arbroath (A933) exit, then follow Dundee Road to Westway Retail Park. The DVSA cabin is at the rear of Asda—park in the main car park but avoid the two‑hour bays nearest the store.

2. By public transport

• Bus – Stagecoach Coastrider X7 and local route 73 both stop at Westway Retail Park every 30‑60 minutes.
• Train – Arbroath station is 1.2 miles (about 25 minutes on foot) with frequent ScotRail trains to Dundee and Aberdeen.

3. Cycling / walking

NCN Route 1 hugs the seafront through Arbroath Harbour—join it at the Signal Tower Museum and cut inland via Cairnie Road for covered racks outside Asda.

1. Westway Retail Park roundabout

• Typical slip‑up – last‑minute lane changes on the multi‑exit circle.
• Quick fix – pick your lane at the green advance sign and stay glued to the lane arrow through the turn.

2. Keptie St parked‑car gauntlet

• Typical slip‑up – squeezing past parked vans and brushing mirrors.
• Quick fix – ease back to 20 mph, take a central line and be prepared to wait at pinch points.

3. Cairnie Rd dual‑carriageway lane discipline

• Typical slip‑up – hugging the right lane and missing the left exit for DTC.
• Quick fix – move left as soon as safe, mirror‑signal and hold 50 mph until the countdown markers.

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

The centre shares the Asda car park in Westway Retail Park, so bay‑parking bays are plentiful. Shoppers and speed‑bumps mean clutch‑control practice as soon as you move off. Once clear, you’ll weave through the harbour one‑way system and join the A92 dual carriageway—ideal for lane‑discipline drills. A pre‑test circuit around Brothock Bridge and the marina helps steady nerves.

2. What to Expect on the Day

Arrive a little early, park neatly in a bay and bring your provisional. After the eyesight and “show me, tell me” checks you’ll tackle town‑centre junctions, then faster legs on the A92 towards Carnoustie or Montrose. One reversing manoeuvre is required—often bay parking back at Asda—and an emergency stop crops up on roughly one in three tests. Independent driving normally follows the sat nav.

3. After You Pass

Once your pass is logged online, most cards arrive within 14 days. Book extra tuition for Aberdeen’s AWPR or Dundee’s Kingsway, and explore telematics policies—coastal Angus premiums are competitive for careful new drivers.
