Local Driving Tips
Practice on narrow country lanes and build confidence with slow-speed control and mirror checks. Watch for tractors and delivery vans on rural roads, they can block sight lines at junctions. Spend time on roundabouts and multi-lane junctions if you travel out to Basingstoke, those are where faults add up. Try evening lessons to avoid school-run traffic and to get used to changing light conditions. Do a few longer runs into nearby towns to practise lane discipline and motorway-style junction approaches.
