Local Driving Tips

Start lessons on Erdington High Street to get used to stop-start traffic and bus lanes. Practice turning onto Chester Road and using the slip roads near Gravelly Hill interchange, they can catch you out if you are not decisive. Watch for cyclists and parked cars on Station Road and in residential cul-de-sacs. Pick a mix of quiet streets and busier A-roads in lessons so you can build speed control and lane discipline. Time lessons outside school-run hours at first, then try busier slots to practise real conditions.
