You will meet farm vehicles and tractors, so slow down and pass carefully when it is safe. Practice hill starts and clutch control on quiet lanes before tackling busier approaches.

Keep maps or a satnav ready for routes to Boucher Road or Balmoral centres.

When you and your instructor agree you are ready, book the practical test at your chosen centre, keeping the travel distance in mind.
