Haddington Driving Test Centre, at Brewery Park on Hospital Road EH41 3PP, is two minutes from the A1 junction and the A199 coastal spur. Routes sweep 60 mph stretches toward Dunbar, spiral the Abbotsview roundabout and dip into narrow cobbled lanes off Market Street. There’s a small car park plus male/female toilets; wheelchair users should phone ahead for ramp access. Tests typically book 8 weeks ahead—unless you nab a cancellation.

1. A1 Abbotsview Junction

• Typical slip‑up – picking the wrong filter lane and cutting across high‑speed traffic.
• Quick fix – follow the green Abbotsview boards two signs ahead, choose lane 2 early and hold 25 mph until clear.

2. High St permanent 20 mph

• Typical slip‑up – speed creeps to 25 mph outside the Corn Exchange.
• Quick fix – stay in 3rd, feather brake and aim for 18 mph through the core.

3. Tyne Bridge single‑lane signals

• Typical slip‑up – jumping amber and blocking the arch.
• Quick fix – stop if amber shows before the line, set bite, clear span in one smooth pull‑away.

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

East Lothian’s driving‑test hub sits at Hospital Road, EH41 3PF. The rear yard has marked bays, but tractors and school traffic share the gateway, so precision mirror work matters the second you move.

2. What to Expect on the Day

Examiners like bay parking first. Independent driving usually joins the A1 to Abbots View, loops the Clerkington mini‑roundabouts and returns via Gifford Road—expect a 70‑to‑30 speed drop. Local instructors recommend a warm‑up loop round the Tesco roundabout to calm nerves and slick up clutch control.

3. After You Pass

Your result is uploaded digitally; the photocard normally arrives within ten days. Pass Plus across the Queensferry Crossing and City Bypass builds motorway experience.
