Local Driving Tips
Start lessons on quieter local streets to build confidence before heading towards busier routes. Practice manoeuvres where you will be tested, and include longer runs that match a 9.2 mile trip to Scunthorpe. Watch for agricultural vehicles and narrow lanes when driving out of town, and practise merging into faster traffic when you approach main roads. Practise independent driving and follow directions to build stamina for the test.
