Local Driving Tips
Start lessons on quieter back streets before tackling Crouch End Broadway, where pedestrian flow is high. Practise hill starts around Tottenham Lane and the approach to Muswell Hill to build confidence. Watch for parked cars and narrow pinch points on Park Road, and use mirror checks more often than you might on rural roads. Learn the timing for bus lanes and keep an eye on cyclists on Hornsey High Street. Work on junction observations at the Broadway and the junction with Tottenham Lane.
