Local Driving Tips
Start lessons on quieter lanes around Clapham before moving onto the A24 and A27 for experience on faster roads. Practise joining and leaving the A259 at coastal junctions and handling roundabouts near Worthing town centre. Watch for narrow bridges and farm traffic on rural stretches, and be ready for gusty cross winds near the seafront. Plan lessons to include both town manoeuvres and short dual-carriageway drives so you get comfortable with the variety of local roads.
