Local Driving Tips
Practice the route from Edzell to Montrose so you know the travel time and typical traffic.

Work on slow-speed control and hill starts if your lessons begin on quieter village roads, then switch to busier streets as you approach town. Time a few runs at the same hour as your test to see how the roads behave then.
