Local Driving Tips

Start lessons near the harbour to get used to parked cars and local pedestrian activity. Practice junctions and hill starts in the town centre so you can handle stop-start traffic. When you head out of town look for narrower, single-lane sections and sharper bends, and be ready for changeable coastal winds. Work on position and speed control before tackling faster rural stretches, and practise reversing into bays near the high street.
