Practice hill starts and clutch control on the steeper lanes around the reservoir and higher ground. Use the A6 into Chorley to get used to faster traffic and multi-lane approaches. Work on left turns and narrowing lanes around village centres, where tractors and parked cars are common. Spend a few lessons rehearsing roundabout approaches at major junctions and the Chorley town centre roundabout. Familiarise yourself with the approach to M6 junctions if you plan to drive beyond the area.
