Fiscal depute Gavin Letford said officers on patrol saw Arthurs get into a car at 12.01am and drive from a car park onto Pittodrie Street.
He added: “The officers recognised the accused as being a disqualified driver and as a result decided to follow the vehicle until there was an appropriate opportunity for him to stop.”
Defence agent John McLeod said his client had only driven a short distance.
Sheriff Ian Wallace deferred sentence on Arthurs, of Park Place, Aberdeen, until January for a social work report and restriction of liberty assessment.
