Start lessons on quieter streets to build control before moving onto busier junctions. Expect narrow lanes and blind bends around the village, so work on positioning and slower steering inputs. Watch for farm vehicles and cyclists, especially at gateways and entrances. Practice hill starts and slow manoeuvres away from main roads, and get familiar with approaches into Boston Road and the village High Street.
