Start lessons on quiet residential roads off Bawtry Road before moving onto the A630. Practice the roundabouts near the village and the junctions leading to the Doncaster bypass. Expect traffic peaks on Doncaster Road during rush hour, so book a lesson at a quieter time if you can. Work on dual carriageway joins and lane discipline as many tests include short A-road sections. Parking practice in supermarket bays and on narrow streets will help for manoeuvres.
