Start lessons by getting confident on quiet village lanes to build observation and clutch control. Practice moving from those lanes on to busier routes towards Leicester so you get used to speed changes and urban junctions.

Try a mock test on the same day of week and time as your booked test so you get used to local traffic patterns.
