Local Driving Tips
Start on quieter residential streets around Clackmannan to get your steering and clutch control smooth before moving onto busier roads. Practice approaching roundabouts slowly and choosing the correct lane well before you enter, as exam routes often use multiple roundabouts. Watch for larger vehicles headed to Grangemouth industrial areas, give them space when turning and be ready for occasional slip roads. Work on pulling out from single-lane roads into faster-moving traffic, and practise motorway-style merges on nearby dual carriageways if your instructor covers them.
