Local Driving Tips
Start lessons on quieter residential streets before moving to the A27 and M27 slip-roads, where traffic can be fast and lanes short. Practice roundabout technique on busy junctions near the town centre and at the Fareham Common area, as these come up often. Coastal roads can be narrower and have parked cars, so work on careful positioning and mirror use. Expect short, busy merges onto the M27 and give yourself time when joining. Work on independent driving and following signs on longer routes towards Lee On The Solent.
Choosing an Instructor in Fareham
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 a provisional licence, which you need before taking lessons or the theory test. Book and pass the theory test, then start practical lessons and aim to build experience on the A27, M27 slip-roads and local roundabouts. When ready, book your practical test at Lee On The Solent and practise the likely routes with your instructor beforehand.
