Local Driving Tips
Start lessons on Braunston High Street and Daventry Road to get used to narrow lanes and parked cars. When you move onto faster roads, practise joining and leaving the A45 toward Rugby so you're comfortable with higher speeds. Spend time on the roundabouts approaching Rugby, as exam routes often include multi-lane junctions. Ask your instructor for a mock test that finishes at the Rugby test centre so you know the final manoeuvres and parking. Expect occasional farm traffic and cyclists on village lanes, so mirror-signal-manage is a useful mantra.
Choosing an Instructor in Braunston
Choose an instructor whose teaching style, transmission, location and availability suit you. We ask suitable instructors for their current lesson terms and show the exact price in the offer before you decide.
Getting Started
Apply for your provisional licence online or by post before you book lessons. Book theory test once you can read a number plate at 20 metres and feel ready to learn hazard perception. Take regular lessons, then a few mock tests with your instructor at Rugby before you book the practical test. Pass the practical and you'll get your full licence.
