Local Driving Tips
Start lessons on Coleshill High Street to get comfortable with narrow parked streets and short pedestrian crossings. Move onto the A446 for dual carriageway practice and to work on acceleration, gear changes and safe lane discipline. Practice joining and leaving the M42 and M6 Toll slip roads, as motorway pull-ins and merges turn up on test routes toward Birmingham. Spend time on roundabouts near the town and at the A446 junction, focusing on observation and correct lane choice. Drive at off-peak times first, then build up to busier periods when you can handle queues and heavy goods vehicles.

Ask to see an ADI badge number, insurance details and pupil references before you book.
