Local Driving Tips
Practice hill starts on Amersham Hill and clutch control on the slopes off Station Road. Amersham High Street narrows and has parking bays, so watch for parked cars and pedestrians. Use the A413 to get comfortable with faster moving traffic and observe lane discipline entering roundabouts. Old Amersham lanes are tighter and good for low-speed manoeuvres. Time lessons to avoid peak commuter hours if you want quieter practice near the station.
Choosing an Instructor in Amersham
Choose an instructor whose teaching style, transmission, location and availability suit you. We ask suitable instructors for their current lesson terms and show the exact price in the offer before you decide.
Getting Started
Apply for your provisional licence and book your theory test before too many lessons. Take regular practical lessons and do a few mock tests with an instructor who knows High Wycombe routes. When you and your instructor feel ready, book at High Wycombe, which is 7.9 miles away, and allow time to travel on the day. Passing the practical test gets you your full licence.
