Local Driving Tips

Start lessons on quiet lanes to get used to clutch control and tight turns before moving onto busier A-class roads. Watch for farm vehicles and livestock near junctions when you're driving off the main road. Practice joining and leaving the A9 and other primary routes, as you'll use them for trips to Alness or Inverness. Expect variable weather and reduced traction in wet or windy conditions, so adjust your speed and following distance.

Choosing an Instructor in Fearn

Getting Started

Apply for your provisional licence online before you book lessons or tests.

Remember to bring your provisional licence and theory pass certificate to the practical test, and factor in travel time to the centre when you schedule your test.
