Local Driving Tips
Start lessons on quiet feeder lanes off the A284 to build confidence before tackling the A27 dual carriageway. Practice pulling out at the A27 roundabouts and lane discipline near Arundel roundabout and Crossbush junction. Expect narrow, tourist-heavy streets around the castle in summer and watch for pedestrians and cyclists on Tarrant Street and Maltravers Street. Work on hill starts around the river crossings and on South Street. Use early morning slots for quieter dual carriageway practice and to avoid school-run traffic.
