Local Driving Tips
Watch the bus lanes on Brixton Road, they are active for long parts of the day and are enforced. Cycle traffic is heavy on Coldharbour Lane and Atlantic Road, so check mirrors early and give cyclists space. Practice hill starts and controlling the clutch on Brixton Hill, and use side streets off Acre Lane for quiet practice. Familiarise yourself with the Stockwell junction and Loughborough Junction roundabouts, they turn up on many local mock tests. Pay attention to controlled parking zones and pay-and-display signs near Brixton Market.
