Local Driving Tips
Start lessons by practising slow control on Clare's narrow lanes and village High Street where space is limited. Work on hill starts and clutch control if your instructor uses nearby country routes. When you head towards Cambridge for mock tests, focus on lane discipline and roundabout positioning on busier approaches. Practise observations at junctions and mirror checks when pulling out of driveways. Book a few lessons that end at the Cambridge test centre to get used to the final approach and parking area.
Choosing an Instructor in Clare
Choose an instructor whose teaching style, transmission, location and availability suit you. We ask suitable instructors for their current lesson terms and show the exact price in the offer before you decide.
Getting Started
Apply for your provisional licence online or by post before booking lessons. Study the theory and take the test when you and your instructor agree you are ready. Do several mock practicals on the Cambridge routes and book your practical test at Brookmount Court when you feel prepared. Pass both tests and you will receive your full licence.
