Local Driving Tips
Start lessons on quieter residential streets to build clutch and mirror routines without traffic pressure. Spend time driving into Peterborough so you know the approaches you will meet on test day. Practise junctions and roundabouts on the routes towards the test centre, and rehearse lane discipline and signalling. Work on independent driving and following road signs for longer runs into town. Book a mock test with your instructor on the actual route you will use to get used to the roads and timings.

Choose an instructor whose teaching style, transmission, location and availability suit you. We ask suitable instructors for their current lesson terms and show the exact price in the offer before you decide.
Getting Started
Apply for your provisional licence online or by post, then book your theory test when you feel ready. Start regular lessons with a local instructor and practise the basics on neighbourhood roads. When your instructor thinks you are ready, book your practical test at Peterborough and do a few mock tests beforehand.
