A Bit More About Aberfeldy
Your driving test at Aberfeldy test centre will begin with the examiner guiding you around the town centre. Now, it can get quite busy around these roads, so you’ll need to be prepared for stop-start driving. Though this might seem frustrating, it’s a great opportunity for you to show off your clutch control to the examiner. As you progress, keep your eye out for changes to the speed limit, especially as you make your way past local schools.
Given that there aren’t any larger towns or villages in the vicinity of Aberfeldy (that you would be able to reach within the timeframe of the driving test), it’s highly likely that you will have to demonstrate the driving test manoeuvre in the town centre. The examiner will either choose a local car park, or a residential road.
Eventually, the test route will guide you towards one of the local A roads, like the A827, to test your ability to adapt to a different speed and traffic system. This might take you towards an area like Strathtay or Kenmore. Alternatively, you might end up on the B846, towards Dull or Milton.
