Local Driving Tips
Start lessons on quieter streets away from Fore Street to build confidence with clutch control and hill starts. Practice joining and leaving the A38 at the Chudleigh junction, slip roads come up quickly. Expect narrow lanes and passing places on side roads, so get used to reversing into gateways and keeping speed low. Work on roundabout procedures at the A38 interchange and the smaller mini-roundabouts near the town hall. Parked cars and delivery vehicles are common close to shops, so practise observation and left-turn positioning.
