Start lessons on quieter Fortrose streets to build basic controls before moving towards Inverness for busier conditions. Practice the longer drive to Inverness a few times so you are comfortable with the route to Seafield Road or Longman Drive on test day. Pay attention to coastal weather, which can change visibility and grip, and plan for wet or windy conditions. Work on dual carriageway joinings and roundabout approaches you will meet near Inverness. Book some lessons that end at the test centre so you know parking and arrival procedures.
