Start lessons on quiet residential streets like Lashmar Road to build clutch control and observation. Move on to the A259 for speed and lane discipline, and practise joining and leaving at Rustington roundabout. Take a few sessions on the slip road to the A27 to get used to merging with faster traffic. Practise hill starts near Sea Lane and mirror-signal-manoeuvre routines on The Street. Book a mock test that follows the Worthing routes to get used to typical local junctions and parking bays.
