Local Driving Tips
Start practice on quiet residential streets to build control and observation. Move on to the A24 towards Horsham to get used to faster traffic and lane discipline. Spend time on the A27 coast road to handle roundabouts and busier junctions. Learn hill starts and clutch control up into the valley and the lanes toward Findon village. Practice parking in Worthing town centre, which can be busier at peak times.

Getting Started

When your instructor thinks you are ready, book the practical test at Worthing and use local mock routes for preparation.
