Local Driving Tips
Get comfortable with the A168 and the slip roads onto the A1(M), they come up early in lessons. Market Place and Bridge Street need care for parked cars and pedestrians, especially on market days. Practise narrow lanes around Aldborough and Roecliffe, watch for farm vehicles and hidden entrances. Work on roundabout positioning at the A168 junctions and on hill starts near the river bridge.
