Local Driving Tips
Start lessons on quiet lanes around Snarestone and Appleby village before moving onto the A444. Practice merging and lane discipline near Measham roundabout and on stretches that link to the M42/A42. Work on junction observations at local crossroads and staggered junctions, they come up on many test routes. Time your lessons to include some peak traffic so you learn how junctions behave at busier times.
